Grief, Ghosts and Other Mysteries of Life and Death

Last Thursday I did a workshop on grieving at the El Cerrito Public Library. My film, The Heart of Grieving, was screened and people shared their stories of loss.

I feel very fortunate to have had Michelle as the facilitator of my grief support group. Michelle is a compassionate, knowledgeable guide who helped me enormously in the first year of my journey through grief. She has a grounding presence, which is so important for someone whose world has just been shattered. She helped me understand and get perspective about the many upsetting experiences and feelings that accompany loss. I highly recommend her to people coping with grief.

Before working with Michelle, I was struggling with past relationships and the grief around letting them go. I did not realize that in hanging on to all the painful memory, I was trying to stay connected to people who were no long a part of my present life. As a consequence, I had no energy to put into my work and all aspects of my life were suffering. Michelle is like a wise elder sister. She helped me to celebrate my little achievements as well as the big steps. She encouraged me to believe in myself and gently and lovingly nudged me to move forward in my life, one step at a time. I am grateful that I found her when I needed her most. Her insights are full of wisdom and helped me heal my past and to let it go.

I was in a grief group for people who lost their spouses with Michelle Peticolas. I loved the way she facilitated the group with compassion, love, and kindness. She didn’t use the old paradigm of control to facilitate the group. Everyone had time to share and everyone felt heard and cared for. She is a deep and awakened person, which I appreciated.

I felt this was the reason that I was able to move through my grief in a healthy and compassionate way and I was able to find another person to love me in a way that I have never been loved before because I learned to allow them to love, nurture and care for me in a way that I couldn’t before this group.

I thank Michelle so much for this wonderful experience and I would recommend her either for group or individual consulting to move through grief in a positive, healthy and compassionate way.
