Navigating the impact of losing someone dear is an undeniable transformative journey. It's a journey that demands our attention, a journey that I've not only personally undertaken but one where I've walked alongside individuals grappling with grief over the years.

In my coaching practice, I've come to understand a crucial truth: to truly heal, we cannot tiptoe around the periphery of our grief. Instead, we must embark on a courageous expedition, meandering through the side roads and, at times, confronting the raw center of our sorrow.

Here's where the concept of mourning becomes pivotal. Grief resides within, an intricate tapestry of thoughts and emotions. Mourning, on the other hand, is the active, outward expression of these internal tribulations. It's about becoming an engaged participant in the intricate dance of our grief journeys. We all grieve when a loved one departs, but for genuine healing to occur, we must also actively mourn.

As your guide in this transformative process, I present to you the six "yield signs" on your grief journey—the indispensable "reconciliation needs of mourning." Your passage through grief is deeply personal, a unique narrative. Yet, there exist universal human needs that, when acknowledged and embraced, form the bedrock of healing for every mourner.

Allow these yield signs to illuminate your path, guiding you through the intricate landscape of grief. Together, we will navigate the twists and turns, honoring the reconciliation needs of mourning, ensuring that healing becomes an integral part of your extraordinary journey from the "before" to the "after."
