When Grief
Shakes Your Foundation

Loss can leave life feeling unfamiliar and heavy. You don't have to carry it alone.

I offer gentle, experienced guidance to help you honor your love, process what hurts, and find a way forward.

Grief Support & Recovery

Cheri is trained by The Grief Recovery Institute® as a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist® and has taken a course at Lancaster Theological Seminary on ministering to those who are dying and their families.

Combining this knowledge with her own firsthand experience of losing loved ones, she can tailor Reiki, Spiritual Direction sessions or retreats to help people process their own grief. Her hope is that this will allow the bereaved to let their loved ones and themselves move on.

"We all experience loss in our lives and we truly can find 'Joy in the Mourning' if we face our grief and grow from the experience it brings us!"

— Cheri Roth

Redefining One's Life

The death of a loved one tends to change the direction of one's life. I have traveled roads I never dreamt I would journey on.

In the face of my late husband's death, so many doors have closed to me in the life I once lived. In processing through my own grief and loss I have been redefining my life and my "new calling". The hospitality of "Being Present" with another sojourner of Life, leads both past formalities and into the contemplation of the Spirit.

May you be open to the Blessings and all the Possibilities that surround you each day, no matter where your day finds you! One by one, we can make this world a better place when we start with ourselves!!

JOY ENTWINED WITH SORROW

Such JOY fills an old Rowboat Meandering down a Winding Still River On closer Observation JOY is not Alone For it is Bound Hand in Hand Arm in Arm Life to Life To SORROW True JOY can never really be Experienced to its Greater Depths If SORROW is not JOY's Partner For in SORROW Pain Consumes and is Relentless It is only in Facing and Entering into the Rawness of SORROW Can Release be found in JOY While we are Unsuspecting and Wallowing in our Pain SORROW Paints JOY with All the Brilliant Colors of Life Surprises us and Blesses us With an Overabundance of JOY in Unexpected Places It is a Mystery how these Two can Coexist Yet all we can do is Hold both Gently
