About Me

Hi, I’m Louise, the founder of Light After Loss. 
 
My journey to becoming a ​Grief Recovery Method® specialist began when I went through a series of devastating losses, including the death of my two beautiful dogs and the end of a long-term romantic relationship. 
 
At the time, I felt completely lost and isolated. I was confused, angry, sad and felt devastating pain from those losses. 
 
Along with those difficult emotions, I suffered from crippling anxiety following the trauma of the death of my dogs. I thought to myself, "No one prepared me for grief." The physical and emotional effects it had on me were profound. I often asked myself, "How long is this pain going to last?"

 

I was desperate to find answers and to stop feeling the way I did. It was having a real impact on my life and while I did attend therapy, I found I needed more specific help in relation to pet loss. 

​After endless hours of internet searches, I stumbled across The Grief Recovery Method® website. I felt compelled to sign up and become a Grief Recovery Method Specialist® as  I wanted to learn how to help myself and then others through the heartache of loss. 

This amazing program not only guided me through healing my recent losses but also gave me the ability to heal so much of my unresolved grief from some very intense losses that I had experienced throughout my life.
