Hi there, hello fellow griever.

I am so glad that you're here, but I am so sorry you need to be.

Reaching out for help can be so hard at times.

Struggling with grief and loss is one of the most challenging things we experience as humans, and I believe that no one should have to struggle by themselves in silence.

I wanted to share my own story and experiences of grief and loss to remind you that you're not alone.

I have experienced heartbreaking grief throughout my whole life.

My personal experience with loss includes both that of others and a struggle with a loss of self due to some significant physical and emotional health issues.
I had a stroke at the age of 23 that ended up being much more impactful than I ever could have imagined.
I also struggled for many years with being in a deep state of depression, isolation, and uncertainty.
Significant loss of loved ones that I have experienced are my grandparents, as well as two great friends, one to cancer and the other by suicide.
I have also had many beloved pets, cats and dogs, over the years cross the rainbow bridge and they will forever remain in my heart.

What actually brought me to the work of the Grief Recovery Method in 2018 was struggling with the relationship I had with my father.
I did not realize before then that I could experience grief over a relationship with a living person, and that it was normal to grieve over unmet hopes, dreams, and expectations.
Going through the program changed the way I view grief and loss, my outlook on life, as well as relationships. I was never the same after that (in the very best way).

I have always worked in counselling and helping roles, and my desire to support others is an inherent part of who I am.
My professional training is as a Child and Youth Care Counsellor and I have been in the helping field for over 12 years.
Going through the Grief Recovery Specialist Certification in 2022 was truly one of the best decisions I ever made.
I now run my own business called Intentional Connections Wellness Services where I focus on supporting grievers in-person in the surrounding Leduc, Alberta area, as well as all over the world virtually, through their unique healing journey.

I work primarily with grievers 1 on 1, and also in the Pet Loss and Helping Children With Loss groups.

Exploring with my two dogs (and snuggling, of course!), and my close relationships with friends and family are what bring me the most joy in life.
I love live music, reading, cooking, and being outside in nature.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story.
I can't wait to meet you and hold space for you and your heart when you need it most.

-Janelle
