Grief support is the act of standing on a sacred threshold with someone

Grief is a liminal space, a threshold between what was & what is, between presence & absence, between the known and the mysterious.

When you sit with someone in their grief, you are stepping into a space where time feels fluid, where the ordinary dissolves, and something more profound emerges.

You are witnessing love that has outlived form.

You are companioning people in moments where they are stripped of pretense, where they stand in the raw, sacred truth of their loss.

It is in these moments that the veil feels thin, because it is.

In these moments, you are in touch with something sacred that you must hold reverence for.

This work goes beyond helping someone cope. Often, you are opening a space, a doorway to greater meaning and truth.

Grief invites a connection to what is beyond sight. It reveals the eternal nature of love, the presence of what can not be lost, the ache of what can never be.

You help people feel seen, not just by you but by something greater. By the endurance of their love. By a presence that is no longer here materially but that is so very much alive emotionally and spiritually.

Perhaps this is why grief can be so overwhelming. It is not just sorrow. It is also an encounter with the sacred, with truth and with what remains when the physical body dies.

And you, in your role, are standing at a threshold with them, holding open a space where their person can still be felt, where the love endures and where meaning is not found but revealed.

This is important work.

With love,

Marie
