Content Access

For access to the Evergreen content see  https://www.sarahfuruya.com/lighthouse-evergreen  and use password LHEvergreenPW!

Please move at a pace that feels right for you. You will also notice these emails align with the order of the topics in the content. However, you can access the content in whatever order best suits your needs.

The six topics are:

• Witnessing Grief

• Resourcing and Taking Refuge

• Dealing with Difficult Emotions

• Secondary Losses

• Redefining Relationships

• Integrating Grief

Each topic has five categories including:

• journal prompt

• ritual prompt

• guided meditation

• embodied practice 

• resources 

We suggest watching the videos (found in resources) each time you begin a new topic. We explain the theme and often discuss it within the context of our grief. We want you to know that you are not alone in your grief. 

We also encourage you to keep a grief journal for the journal prompts, various activities, and anything else that comes up. Writing is a very powerful tool. 

There are other engaging elements such as ritual, guided meditation, embodied practices and various activities. Please think of the content as a jumping off place. You can do as much or as little as you like.

Grief is exhausting, often draining us of energy or motivation. It can feel absolutely devastating. We understand it may be hard to commit time to tending to your grief. We also know that being present with grief helps process and transform it. Giving your grief some dedicated time is the best way to honor it. We suggest creating a routine by setting a regular schedule, if possible. 

Please reach out anytime. For tech support, please email us at info@sarahfuruya.com For any general questions or concerns, please contact us at info@sarahfuruya.com or gretchenmiura@gmail.com. 

Please add both emails to your white list - the monthly emails and call recaps will be coming from Gretchen’s email so be sure to save.

We look forward to seeing you in person next week on either 8th or 10th
