Evolving Beliefs About Grief

Grief does not follow a linear path.
Grief may come in waves or cycles. It may even remain dormant for years before resurfacing.
Time may not completely heal all wounds.
Time does provide space for adaptation and integration. As I say, 'Time heals some of our pain. The rest we just learn to carry.'
Instead of moving on, we develop continuing bonds.
It is healthy to maintain continuing bonds and find ongoing meaningful connection to our departed loved ones.

Customized Tools, Strategies, and a Roadmap for Coping, Mourning, Healing, and Emerging from Grief.

Grief is not simply an emotion. It affects our entire being. Addressing your grief at every level:
  • Emotional
  • Mental
  • Physical
  • Spiritual
Helping you engage with your grief in ways that feel authentic and comfortable, given your nature, background, culture, and faith.
"Working with Vivien was just what I needed at the right time. She helped me process my feelings and sort through some of the grief and trauma of losing my first wife so suddenly. She was definitely a Godsend."
Jason Sherman, Diary of a Widowed Dad
"During the worst time of my life, facing grief and trauma, Vivien was my hero. Telling my story to her for my book was the best therapy I could have ever received. She has such empathy that it lifted me out of my dark time. Thank you for saving me."
Shelly Hess Bangert, Author of Final Drive

About Vivien

Grief Coaching: a natural progression
From 1999 to the Spring of 2025, I focused solely on my work as a biographer-ghostwriter (and speechwriter). During those years, I conducted phone interviews to collect the notes I needed to write on behalf of my clients. The phone interview process involved creating a safe space for clients to tell me their life stories from beginning to end. As I guided clients through telling me their stories, I helped them use the narrative process to reframe and understand their trauma, tragedies, grief, and victories. Over the years, as I ghostwrote 30+ books, my clients often reported finding the phone-interview process profoundly cathartic and healing. Meanwhile, I found the phone interviews to be one of the most satisfying parts of the (ghost)writing process. When a friend suggested to me that I might be well suited for grief coaching work, it made perfect sense to me. It was a natural evolution. I have a reputation for being compassionate, empathetic, and sensitively attuned. I welcome the opportunity to use my gifts to be of service as a grief coach, as well!

"She led me through interview conversations about the most difficult and emotional period of my life, taking my words and thoughts and beautifully blending them into a book. Her talent, knowledge and patience are above reproach. And I have a new friend. Make yourself the same friend!"
Robert Fischbach, Commercial Real Estate Owner/Operator, Author of Faithful As She Fades: A Memoir of Love and Dementia
