For the Clinician

What if you could quickly be aware of a client’s grief process without requiring them to verbalize the specifics of the loss narrative?

It can be daunting when a client asks you for help to manage their grief. You may find yourself thinking, “I’ve never been trained in providing bereavement support.” That’s why I created the Palette of Grief®, a tool that provides effective, safe avenues for the discovery of the impact of grief symptoms.

Imagine meeting a new client and having the skills to quickly adapt to their grief and visually understand their emotional, cognitive, physical, behavioral, and religious or spiritual reactions.

Palette of Grief gives you a big-picture view where you are immediately familiar with your client’s grief process, which can improve clinical outcomes. The Palette of Grief Program transcends barriers, providing individuals with a symbolic representation of the grief process. My background as a thanatologist—a specialist in bereavement after a sudden loss, complicated mourning, and traumatic grief, has enabled me to develop a tool that meets the needs of the bereaved and those clinicians who support them.
