Brenda Puckett, MA, LPC, is one of our amazing counselors here at Rooted Compassion who specializes in grief counseling. She comes alongside her clients walking through grief by giving them support and the space needed to work through the five stages of grief. With her experience and expertise in grief counseling, Brenda put her wisdom and thoughts together in our most recent Rooted Reflections blog called, “Finding Meaning in Your Grief and How Grief Counseling Can Get You There.” We wanted to share some of her insights in our newsletter this week. |

“Spring, the season associated with new life and blossoming trees and flowers, is here. Yet, if you are grieving a loss, it may be very hard to enjoy the beauty of this fresh season.” |

"Many of us are familiar with Elizabeth Kubler Ross' model of the Five Stages of Grief: - Denial
- Anger
- Bargaining
- Depression
- Acceptance
International grief expert David Kessler, who worked with Kubler Ross and coauthored two books with her (“Life Lessons” and “On Grief and Grieving”) before her death, has since added a 6th Stage of Grief, called “Finding Meaning”. As a grief counselor, Brenda can help her clients reach that 6th stage of grief and find their meaning in their grief. If you are interested in learning more, check out the rest of Brenda's blog post speaking on the stages of grief and how to find your meaning in grief. |
