My name is Thera Storm (the "h" is silent). I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), military spouse, published author, group facilitator, speaker and mom. I currently live in Europe (military orders) so providing an e-course was my solution for providing grief support!
You'll see in my courses that I am passionate about helping people recover, heal, and move-on from loss and the grief that comes with it.
Years ago, I realized that what most people have been told about grief is just not true… “Everything happens for a reason”, “They’re in a better place now”, “I’m sorry for your loss”, “Life goes on”, “Keep on keeping on”, “I'll give you space, but let me know if you need anything”… These sayings, kind as they may be at heart, just don’t cut it. And no one should feel like that’s all they need to actually heal and move on from loss.
The reality is, loss isn’t as easy as that. It’s not something you slap a bandaid on and just “keep on marching.” Whatever it is you’re dealing with, your emotional pain deserves more than a bandaid.
We can mourn a loved one... and we can also grieve many other losses! Friendship, estrangement, breakup, divorce, job, career, infertility, miscarriage, pet loss, identity, health, finances, graduation, retirement, moved homes.... it’s all a kind of “loss” and all of it deserves more than a bandaid.
My mission is to bring you real healing, real clarity, and real tools and techniques you can take with you no matter where you are in life.
I hope you'll join me in unleveling humanity: understanding grief and supporting ourselves and the ones around us.
