About Judy
My life's mission is to help others realize their potential and passions. Through my training and experience with grief, I am able to gently guide you from grief to gratitude.
I owned a counseling practice in Southern California for over 10-years... I helped couples transition to a better, more loving and respectful marriage or I helped them end their marriage in a calm, fair and decent way. I closed my practice because my Mom needed me. She had gone blind due to Glaucoma and a brain tumor... and I was her "seeing-eye" daughter. I took care of her for her last 4-years. I was blessed to have that time with her... I had to learn how to love her for who she became, not who she was... It was one of the hardest things I have ever done.
I have been blessed with two wonderful marriages, my first husband died of stomach cancer, we literally had a 10-year honeymoon! I am now married to a wonderful man and we are living an incredibly loving and blessed life together!
I felt guided to open my coaching practice... as I said before, I love helping others transition From Grief to Gratitude!
The Six Stages of Grief
Denial:
The shock and disbelief that the loss has occurred.
Anger:
That someone we love is no longer here physically.
Bargaining:
All the what-ifs and regrets.
Depression:
Sadness from the loss.
Acceptance:
Acknowledging the reality of the loss.
Finding Meaning
Realizing that there is meaning and gratitude that you experienced life with your loved one (or what you're grieving over).
