Experiencing the loss of someone or something significant in your life can prove overwhelming.  That loss can have far-reaching impacts, negatively affecting one’s own emotional and physical health.  It can prompt memories both good and bad related to the loss.  Those experiencing the loss can be engulfed with emotions of how important the loved one meant or concern about future impacts of that loss.  Beyond melancholia and sadness, it can potentially trigger remorse, bitterness and anger for those factors thought to contribute to the loss and/or for not sufficiently valuing a loved one, previous career situation or personal possession.  Unchecked, such emotions can be immobilizing.  They can diminish one’s self-confidence, self-image, motivation and spirit, while also potentially leading to depression, physical illness and self-abusive behaviors used in an effort to contend with the pain of the loss.  Important, previously established life goals may now seem irrelevant or unattainable.

​

     While grieving a loss is understandable and expected, ultimately it becomes crucial that survivors to a loss re-establish their own sense of self, re-balancing themselves and resuming productive, fulfilling lives.   Coaching can be exceptionally effective means of pursuing new life goals after a loss.   Through sharing the nature of the loss and expressing its personal impacts, the path is opened to establish meaningful goals that serve to stabilize and remotivate beyond the experienced loss.

​

     Coaching offers compassionate, sensitive, non-judgmental understanding and then guidance on steps toward positively moving forward.  For those facing losses, coaching can provide the motivating force needed to reconstruct one’s own life with the inner strength to contend with future challenges.  If you have experienced a loss in your life, you are encouraged to contact LifePath as a renewal.
