How The Narrative Cure Works
Something unexpected and miraculous happens when you explore your narrative--your losses, tragedies, grief, and victories, and the way they fit into the context of your greater life story.
I learned this over the past twenty-seven years of working with my clients as a writer-biographer.
For details, see www.writerviviencooper.com .
As I safely guided clients on their return to the path
that led them to tell their story, I witnessed something fascinating: one after another, they collected treasures--insights and lost pieces of themselves along the way.
Little by little, they emerged transformed. Substantially healed. Grounded in a new, rock-solid structure. I realized that in the process of exploring their life story narratives, we accidentally stumbled upon something I came to think of as The Narrative Cure. It turns out I had been doing grief coaching all along and didn't even realize it--until I did.

My Own Journey with Grief
I have walked the path before you and I know the terrain.
Following a catastrophic double loss in 2006, I was frankly shocked by the impact of the grief. It affected me physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, foundationally. I had to schedule periods of crying and sleep in between working.
The most surprising part was that I no longer felt tethered to the earth. I felt like I had been run over by a train.
I had no roadmap, no blueprint, no grief coach to support or guide me toward healing. I did have the love and support of friends, family, loved ones, God, and my 12-step community. I was somehow taken care of as I stumbled along and found my way to healing and restoration over time. But I needed more. I needed the kind of grief coaching I offer you now. Backed by experience and the wisdom that comes from walking the path myself. Wisdom grounded in grief coaching training. I would love to be there for you!
