Discovering Who You Are Beyond the Pain of Parental Loss
Meet Pam
Certified Life coach
My name is Pamela, and it's been quite a journey. I lost both of my parents in my 30's and 40's, and lost my beloved husband suddenly 2.5 years ago. ​ So I know a thing or two about loss, and the unique wound when your Mum or Dad dies. And now I want to support you as you process the grief of loss of your parent and give you the tools to discover how to live after loss in a world that makes no room to grieve a parent.
DREADING THE HOLIDAYS?
Feeling overwhelmed with family expectations
Without the energy to meet them
Holidays are a difficult time for grieving families you're missing your Dad or Mom, know it won't be the same but not the same how?
Sometimes just wish it was all over. I know I did, I also learned to lower my expectations of myself to meet who I am this year not who i was before loss.
Check out my interview with Teresa Beshwate, The Sudden Widow
coach as we discuss grieving as a family during the holiday season.
We offer specific tips and conversation starters, specifically for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. Listen by clicking

Make room for tears.
The holidays are here and the world around you looks giddy with excitement, the pressure is on to buy gifts, food, attend get-togethers, put up lights and trees and music is playing everywhere. It can be overwhelming when you really don’t want to be involved this year for it. It’s different now because you and your family are grieving the loss of your parent. Yet when you ask your Mom or Dad “how are you? They often say “fine” and they in turn ask how you are your answer is the same “fine”.
But the truth is no one is fine.
You don’t want your parent to worry about you so you are stoic and you think that you should be fine.
But what if being honest makes it easier?
Neither you or your parent are fragile, you’re grieving. You are all sad because you miss your “Person” so give yourselves permission to laugh and to cry. So, make room for tears.
You don’t need to have long intense conversations about how you feel. A short “I miss Mom or Dad” or a hug or recalling a story or laughing about a memory along with tears will be more comforting.
