Everyone experiences grief
in their own way

Your relationship with the person who died was unique
and your grief will be unique too.

Hi, I'm Diane

I hold a B.A. in Thanatology (the study of dying, death, and bereavement) from Western University, and bring over 25 years of providing compassionate grief counselling as the founder of Good Grief Support.  I facilitate (same loss) grief support groups, offer  1:1 grief counselling and provide special events during  the Fall months leading up to Christmas and New Year.

As a bereaved parent, I bring experience from my own personal grief journey to my practice in order to help support others on their own journey.

My additional Bereavement Education certifications include, Cognitive Behaviour and Children’s Grief and Bereavement from University of Toronto and SickKids Centre for Community Mental Health, a Continuing Education certificate from Tyndale Centre for Grief and Loss and I am a member of the Bereavement Ontario Network.

My job is not to fix your broken heart,
but to teach you how to live with it.

How can I help?

I offer compassionate, flexible support designed to meet you wherever you are with your grief.

Whether you prefer 1:1 counselling or a confidential same loss support group Good Grief can journey with you developing coping tools, ways to stay 'continually bonded' with your person, learning what triggers your grief and developing a proactive plan to provide you with permission to acknowledge your feelings.

Support Options

One-on-one Counselling

Private, non-judgmental, one-on-one grief counselling in a safe space. I help you develop effective coping tools and create a unique action plan to process your loss, manage difficult days, and move forward while honouring your loved one.

Closed Group Grief Support

Our closed Grief Support Groups are loss-specific (e.g., spousal loss) and provide a safe, confidential space to meet others who share your experience. Empower yourself by connecting with peers over a 6–12 month duration. Contact with the facilitator is required before joining. Support groups include:
Child Loss • Parent Loss• Sibling Loss • Suicide Loss • Widow/Widower
