Ms. Laitmon is a bereavement and grief counselor with families coping with a parent, child, spouse, or sibling loss.   Losing someone you love is painful and overwhelming.   We learn there is no right or wrong way to grieve. Words cannot possibly describe the fear, anxiety, and agony associated with loss.

In the journey towards healing, we explore strategies to move forward.   Telling your story and discovering ways to keep memories alive is a welcomed comfort.   Reading about loss, writing or journaling, escaping into work and interests, attending a support group to know we’re not alone, are all meaningful.

Grief steals like a thief and makes the heart a lonely hunter.  But grief shared in our sessions is grief diminished.

After her son, Daniel died in 1998, Emily received additional training in Bereavement counseling.  She works as a group facilitator for spouse, parent and child loss groups.   She meets with family members who describe personal struggles with loved ones.  Death does not end the relationship.

She is author of the book  “Our Children Our Hearts: Journeys of Child Loss and Remembrance” published in 2008.
