The Journey Through Grief
Losing a loved one, regardless of the circumstances, can be an extremely difficult time in a person’s life.
Tammy Gann - Grief Coach | Author
Through the many tragedies in my life, I have found a purpose and a vision, to help others walk through grief.
Suffering and sorrow are never pleasant, however, the wisdom and compassion that come from such events are priceless. This kind of wisdom and empowerment can’t be taught, but rather must be experienced.
My methodology is built upon real-life experience, coupled with practical down-to-earth guidance. Having the highest regard for each person’s unique situation, I have created a program that will help you walk through the pain of grief.
My hope is that everyone walking in pain will be empowered, receive healing and find joy once again.
Coping With Loss
Do you believe that you won’t ever recover from the grief and loss?
Does living without your loved one feel just too hard to endure?
Do you wonder how you are going to do ordinary things every day?
Are you critical of yourself for still grieving?
Do you feel lost?
Knowing What To Expect
When a death occurs, you may experience a wide range of emotions, even when death is expected. Many people report feeling an initial stage of numbness after first learning of a death, but there is no natural order to the grieving process. Some emotions you may experience include:
Yearning
Denial
Disbelief
Confusion
Shock
Sadness
Anger
Humiliation
Despair
Guilt
These feelings are normal and common reactions to loss. You may not be prepared for the intensity and duration of your emotions or how swiftly your moods may change. You may even begin to doubt the stability of your mental health. But be assured that these feelings are healthy and appropriate and will help you come to terms with your loss.
Remember: It takes time to fully absorb the impact of a major loss. You never stop missing your loved one, but the pain eases after time and allows you to go on with your life.

Journal of Dreams
Dreams are an important part of many Biblical stories and passages. They offer insight and foresight into the favored decisions or actions that should be made. Many dreams include visions of divine symbols or the Lord, himself, sharing wisdom that changes the course of history. Conversely, some dreams present a clear example of what could go wrong if the way of God is abandoned.
Not all dreams are from God. Some come from our subconscious; others are just imaginations. So, how can you know if a dream is from God?

Have you embraced the pain so you can let it go more easily?
Instead of being engulfed by pain, you may struggle to embrace it at first. It’s normal to push the pain away for as long as possible. But the grief process is about weaving together your experiences before and after your loss. Part of this process is learning to face your emotions and cope with them. If you’re having trouble, talk to a friend or family member, or maybe a grief counselor. You’ll find healthy ways to manage your emotions without avoiding or pushing them away.
