Kerry A. Cannon, LCSW When Life Partners Grieve (Crosswalks Support) - Open group supporting our fellow neighbors & spouses. I'm excited to welcome you to Grief Pivots Coaching!

We welcome related inspirational stories, music/art, occasional quotes, posts about ways to nourish yourself & to properly honor legacy. For those who are curious, I was born & raised in the Midwest, South-ish from Chicago, IL. in an unincorporated Indiana city, South Haven. Over the years, life sent some zingers past my head, along with joyous memories with varied heartbreaks that helped me thrive. Grief Pivots was initially developed in mid 2022 then put on hold to handle some life adjustments with renewed energy & skill practices to provide others. Below are a few of my favorite things that ground me:
Kitchy mugs holding good coffee (Happy AM French Press!), playing with the furr baby, canvas painting, Prostate Cancer innovations/Fibromyalgia & +45yo Women's wellness research, spontaneous sunsets shared with my beloved husband & life partner. I look forward to teaching and further supporting you. Be well & thank you for reading.

๐Ÿ˜ญGrief feels like the problem.
It's a natural happening some of us experience as we age,
some too soonโ€ฆyet definitely not forgotten.
๐Ÿ˜ฑ Grief happens at times when least expected.
๐Ÿ˜–Grief happens amidst tanglesโ€ฆand sometimes we're too late.
๐Ÿ’žGrief happens because we love in all the varied ways.

I don't want to just offer insight, I want to resonate in your thoughts like a One Hit Wonder song!
I want for you to receive my support, to understand that the grief ecosystem was designed to be deeper than cookie cutter grief and bereavement support.
This is one reason why the Grief Pivots ecosystem
was born in May after many months of listening to my clinical clients, friends, peers who
encouraged me to develop something nobody else has offered.

Yes, there are group supports and other programs for Spousal and Partner Loss.
๐Ÿ’“๐Ÿ’œChild Loss.
Overarching Grief across life domains. Pet grief.
A select few supports for adults who are child-free by choice,
or because of circumstances (CNBC).

If you want to do some added research specific to your grieving experience, please do see
what's useful out there.

When you're done Googling, come back here.

๐ŸŽฏ Comment below โ€” 'Me 2' if you resonate with this sharing,
or if you want to share a memory of your love for the one you're missing dearly.
Thank you kindly and take good care of yourself.

grief is a complicated journey

09/07/2026

Hi everyone! I'm going to share a brief video clip
from my grief education ecosystemโ€ฆ
I'm a newbie to recording video, so be gentle ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ˜œ
and stay with me to hear a little about Daniel's (redacted real name)
story. He and Monica were together for over a decade, partners
beyond her life departure. Daniel nurtured this "beyond departure"
in his ways of leaning into his Stoic philosophy values as he
didn't identify with a spiritual orientationโ€ฆalthough he did
believe in afterlife. I welcome any comments, have a good upcoming
weekend!
