EXPRESSION THRU GRIEF
Why it works!
Talking about grief is scary AF! Whether it's opening up about your feelings to friends & family, or in a more public forum like sharing your struggles on social media -- there's a lot of fear with having the deepest, darkest parts of yourself seen by others.
But here's the thing -- grief needs to be witnessed!
In fact, you might be blocking yourself from healing and moving forward if you are holding it in or grieving in total isolation.
In order to integrate your loss in a way that adds deep meaning and purpose to your life, you need a space to:
🖤 Process your loss
🖤 Feel your feelings
🖤 Have them witnessed by others
🖤Understand how old wounds play a role in your current grief, and
🖤Look for new themes beyond the pain & suffering of your loss
I've found that writing about grief and sharing it in private communities or more publicly on social media can provide tremendous opportunities for healing, meaning making and finding purpose after a loss.
Here’s why …
WRITING about your loss and daily struggles gives you the space to process your emotions. As you write or create a post about what's on your heart – emotions typically arise -- allowing you to feel and release them! You can't heal, what you don't feel.
When you SHARE a post or talk about your experience, your grief gets WITNESSED! Other grievers feel seen as you share your story, and their comments validate and normalize your experience too!
Through social media you can CONNECT with grievers all over the world navigating similar circumstances and plug in to an immediate COMMUNITY “who gets you.” You feel less alone in your struggle and empowered by others who are moving forward too!
As you PROCESS the pain thru writing & sharing, you can start to seek the LESSON in each challenge, disappointment or failure. You begin to look for new angles beyond the pain & suffering -- like your resilience, inner strength, deep gratitude for life, and reprioritization of what matters to you now.
You can use this information -- these new TRUTHS and PERSPECTIVES on how you see the world -- to find your purpose and create a life of intention that honors your loved one as you move forward with life!
This is possible for you!
I know because I've done this work myself.

LET'S GOHOW IT WORKS
When you join Grief EXPRESSED, you enter into a vortex of healing, self-reflection, creativity, connection and raw expression.
Over the course of 6-weeks together, we will learn, write, process, share and re-imagine our next chapter without our loved and acquire the tools to begin writing it (literally and figuratively)!
There will be three live trainings (and a bonus workshop!) lead by Emily, two integration calls (time & date TBD), and three guest speaker workshops (outlined below), which will take place on Wednesdays from 11am-12:30pm MST.
Between trainings, participants will be invited to join a Telegram group where Emily will drop 1-2 weekly writing prompts to facilitate healing, promote sharing & connection, and to inspire everyone’s creative expression. Her prompts will build off of her live trainings described here.
LIVE TRAININGS
REVEAL & HEAL
The first training will focus on healing your story thru writing. We will explore the topic of how old wounds, past trauma and conditioning play a role in the stories we create around our loss. You will learn how to befriend your triggers as a pathway to healing and separate the facts of the death from the story, so that you can learn how to re-write the narrative.
WITNESS & SHARE
The second training will explore the power of having your grief witnessed in the online space, by first creating safety within the container. We will address how to overcome imposter syndrome — fears & self-doubt linked to unworthiness — that arise when sharing openly about your loss; and how to release judgment from others who don’t understand your need to share, so that you can express yourself freely & fully.
RE-WRITE & MEANING MAKING
The final training will invite you to reflect on the lessons in loss — new themes emerging like resilience, growth and rebirth — and how sharing your story to help new others can create new meaning. Emily will also share her storytelling tips and the secrets behind her community growth and how to build a movement to heal others, as you heal yourself.

CLIENT LOVE
Here’s what clients have to say about working with Emily and the moveTHRU community …
Chris
"I could not recommend this grief program enough! I was able to better understand MY grief. I felt safe and comforted by other widows who could understand. I learned that I can actually be the best version of myself after the loss of my best friend."
Helene
"Grief is so hard, but I have learned through this group that grief and love go hand in hand. Without grief there is no love and if you want to have a life filled with love you will have grief. Emily is not a therapist, she is a coach, she listens, she speaks, but mostly she helps you to find your way and to understand that together we can move through our grief and we can continue to live our lives. I don’t know where I would be without Emily and without this group that I now consider my friends."
Dawn
"During my initial conversation with Emily, I felt her compassion and empathy for my experience with my loss. Emily’s weekly reflection questions/prompts provided invaluable guided examination into a wide variety of grief topics and also dedicated time for sharing with the other members in the group, which allowed for compassionate dialogue and support. It has been life-changing for me!"
