Healing The Loss

No matter what our medical model or general culture believes, grief is healthy.

-- Franz Schubert --

There is no grief like the grief that does not speak.

-- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow --

The work of the artist is to express what is repressed or even to speak the unspoken grief of society.

-- Franz Schubert --

You didn't need to learn something that only disaster could teach.

-- Megan Devine --

The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not ‘get over’ the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same nor would you want to.

-- Elizabeth Kubler-Ross --

Encouragement to look towards the future only ignores the pain you are in right now.

-- Megan Devine--

Grief is not an obstacle. Never let anyone convince you there's something wrong with your grief.

-- Tim Lawrence --

Grief is a sane response to the physical loss of someone, or something you love.

-- Megan Devine --

Perhaps one day we'll be more shocked when a heartbroken soul isn't expressing their grief than when they are.

-- Tim Lawrence --

“Grieving people want and need to be heard, not fixed”

-- Grief Recovery Method --

“When people say that time heals all wounds, they forget that all wounds are meant to be healed. Some wounds are merely held, caressed, acknowledged and wept for. There is nothing wrong with this”

-- Tim Lawrence--

“You want me to get over my loss? Actually it would make more sense for you to get over your need for me to get over my loss”

-- Tim Lawrence --

“We must grieve our unmet hopes, dreams and expectations"

-- Grief Recovery Method --

“We want them to stand beside us, not trying to fix what cannot be fixed, not trying to rush us out of our grief. We want them to stand there, without flinching, and acknowledge what is true: this hurts. This hurts. I’m here”

-- Megan Devine --

“Always defend your right to heal at your own pace. You are taking your time. You are allowed to take your time”

-- Rebecca Baldwin --

Healing the Loss

Navigating your way through...

PAY IT FORWARD FUND

Many people who reach out for grief support tell me they simply cannot access the help they need.

Our mental health system is overstretched, and grief is often not well supported within its programs. Private grief support can make a difference, but it is not accessible for everyone.


The Pay It Forward Fund helps create a pathway for those who would not be able to receive support otherwise.

You are welcome to donate in memory of a loved one by sharing their name, uploading a photo, and offering a short description or cherished memory. With your permission, I will add this to the memorial page so their memory can be held with care.


If you prefer, you can also donate quietly and anonymously to help someone who needs a safe and compassionate place to land during their loss.


My hope with the Pay It Forward Fund is to ensure that everyone who reaches out receives support. When I cannot personally meet with someone, I will refer them to another trusted provider who can offer the care they need.


Any amount contributed to the Pay It Forward Fund is received with deep gratitude.


With sincere appreciation,
Hilary Scott


Due to your generosity, nearly 100 hours of support have been provided over the years this program has been offered to people who would not otherwise have access to private care. Thank you for making this possible



Our sessions can be conducted in person or online video. Please do not let distance be a factor for getting support.
