It’s time to change the way we approach grief.
Guided arrow is a relational grief initiative dedicated to educating, equipping and empowering those who desire to be a better support for those grieving in their communities.
What is a grief (death) companion?
As a grief companion, you support others through the grieving process.
This does not take the place of other professionals, but it enhances those experiences by providing a relational aspect to grief.
As a grief companion, your role is to be present for the griever, actively listen, and create a plan of action to show empathy, compassion and care. You become a pillar of their support community.
The reason to companion someone who is grieving does not always mean there has been a physical death, but can include any type of personal loss; divorce, loss of a job, end of a friendship, death of a dream.
Becoming well versed in grief companionship is beneficial to every single human being because every single person is grieving, has grieved, or will grieve.
