Grief: How to Hold a Loved One Who is Grieving a Loss with Debra Chapman

The only things in this life that we can count on are change and death. Both, often, come with big, overwhelming feelings. These could be experienced as discomfort, anger, fear, sadness, etc. We’ve all been in transitional spaces in our lives, what did you need in that moment? Maybe you’ve been with others going through hard times or someone who has experienced loss. Did you know what to do? What to say? How to support them?  

Join us as we discuss strategies “to create safe and sacred space in which to hold conversations that nurture the griever’s experience and support them through the acceptance of a life impacted by a loss.”

Debra is a truly compassionate doula who values what is important and sacred to the people and communities she is honored to serve.

Debra has been serving life, death, and grief from an early age and has chosen to apply her lived experience in service of others' death & dying as Co-Founder and Doula of Death Transitions.

An avid learner, she continually seeks out supportive training to offer clients of Death Transitions. A certified CareDoula and Minister, she has expanded training in World Religions, Trauma-Informed Care, and Non-violent Communication, and is grateful to the people and organizations from which she continually receives learnings.
