In this little bonus episode of the support series, Lauren explores how to choose grief support that actually meets you where you are—without pressure, comparison, or urgency.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by your options, unsure what kind of support you “should” be seeking, or exhausted by the idea of making yet another decision in grief, this episode is for you.

Lauren shares her own experience of searching for connection after loss, what she learned along the way, and why timing, choice, and self-trust matter more than finding the “perfect” solution.

This episode gently walks through:

• Why support matters in grief—and how it helps regulate the nervous system
• The difference between therapy and grief coaching, and how they can complement each other
• Why self-guided support often feels safest, especially early in grief
• How group support can provide connection, normalization, and community
• When one-to-one support may be helpful for deeper, more personalized care
• What it means when even support feels like too much—and why that’s valid, too

Most importantly, this episode offers permission:

• To move slowly
• To change your mind
• To trust what feels manageable right now
• And to know that not choosing yet is also a choice

You’re not behind.
You’re not doing grief wrong.
And you don’t have to rush your way toward anything.

Mentioned in this episode:

• Through The Fog — a 6-week, self-guided grief companion
• Re-Imagine — a 12-week group grief support experience for widows
• The Sacred Grief Container — 1:1 grief coaching support
