Healing Your Empty Arms

You Are Meant for Far More Than Simply Surviving Each Day

When we’re lost in the abyss of heart-shattering grief, we often can’t see a way out.

But there is a path forward.

You may not see it — or even believe it exists — but thousands have walked this path before you. They have recovered from the devastating loss of their child and have gone on to live engaged, purpose-filled lives of peace, deep connection, and yes, even joy.

This path of healing is one that you are naturally designed to follow. But it’s easy to miss the path and to wander off course into deeper pain.

In the early days of your loss, grief is like a protective shield: it numbs your emotions and encourages you to instinctively pull away from others. You create a safe, quiet space, deep inside, where you can remain still and conserve energy, even as the chaos of your trauma whirls around you.

As healthy grief progresses, your emotions begin to thaw and you begin to feel again.

Many of us are terrified by the all-consuming intensity of these emotions. We’re afraid they will strip away our last little grip on normalcy and drown us in their fury.

So we withdraw even further in an effort to protect ourselves. We avoid people and situations that might spark strong emotions. We stuff down our feelings, isolate ourselves, or try to “stay busy” to keep the pain at bay. We may seem okay to others, but underneath, we feel exhausted, depressed, and irritable, as we anxiously guard against worst-case scenarios that overrun our imaginations.

The problem is...

You Can Escape This Vicious Cycle of Unnecessary Suffering

When you proactively deal with your own grief, using time-tested, practical techniques, you also model healthy practices and lay the groundwork for your loved ones to experience improved mental health and emotional well-being.

You see, the secret to experiencing emotional balance and spiritual peace is making the choice to take intentional steps forward through your grief. You don’t get over grief, you go through it.

• When you learn how to be more aware of what is going on inside your heart and give grief a voice….
• When you learn to treat yourself with the same love and compassion that you offer to others...
• When you learn the different ways men and women deal with grief, adjust your expectations, and practice connecting with loved ones in safe ways that allow authenticity and emotional honesty…
• When you take small consistent steps to release your grief and open yourself to receiving all that you need from God and others…

…You actually do heal.

Yes, it’s a slow process that comes with growing pains. But it has the transformative power to set you and your family on the path to a healthier and more satisfying life of peace and meaning...

…One in which you again feel like yourself — but more engaged, purposeful, and vibrant with life.

…One in which your relationships hold even greater meaning and are strong, loving, and loyal.

…One in which you’re able to better meet your own needs and be more fully present for your children, spouse, and loved ones.

…One in which you feel greater emotional and mental balance in every aspect of your life...

…One in which you experience your full range of human emotions without being afraid of drowning in them. You have an increased capacity to regulate fear, anger and sadness, and to experience love, gratitude, pleasure, and, yes, even profound peace and joy.

Let Us Show You How to Process Your Grief in Ways That Honor Your Loss and Facilitate Healing

My name is Pam Vredevelt. For the past three decades, I've been counseling moms and dads who have lost babies, children, and loved ones.

After personally helping thousands of people in my office, I can tell you that the majority of the healing work is done with take home practices and guidance. I've fine-tuned the process so that nearly anyone can take the small but strategic healing action steps with the guidance offered in our videos and help sheets.

I’m all about empowering you to successfully move through the painful realities of life and tell your story of hope and healing. I’ve been a professional counselor in private practice for thirty years, and have helped thousands recover from catastrophic loss. My daughter, Jessie V. Schultz, is a leadership coach and trainer. We love working together with women who have suffered the loss of a baby or child.

It’s not an easy topic, nor one we would have hand-picked for ourselves. But we’re passionate about our calling because we know without a doubt that magnificent transformation happens in the context of a loving relationship with God, safe friends, and wise guidance.

We’ve been where you are. My first baby, David, passed away in the womb, half-way to term. My youngest son, Nathan, died when he was sixteen after being hit by a car. Jessie and her fiancé, Chris, were with Nathan the night of his accident. Working through the horrific pain around Nathan’s passing was a tall assignment for a young collegiate, and for the rest of us. More recently we walked the healing path again after Jessie and Chris lost their two babies, Chloe and Judah.

We know how dark and lonely grief can be. God’s timeless wisdom and brain science research are in agreement - you are not designed to mend your broken heart alone.

As long as I’ve been a therapist, I’ve wanted to help people fully recover and rise up strong after painful losses. It’s my passion because I know what happens when you ignore, block, and bury your grief.

Healing is delayed and years of love, laughter, and abundant life is wasted in unnecessary suffering.

When unresolved grief gets carried into your future, it can harm your health and the people you love. It drains your passion, motivation, creativity, mental clarity, and desire to fulfill your purpose and calling.

The good works you were created to accomplish get sidelined.

The Cost Is Not Simply Personal
It Is Cultural and Generational

It's impossible to calculate the high cost of buried unresolved grief.

Sadly, many people struggle for years with unresolved grief. And it’s not their fault. No one showed them a way through grief or what to do with their all-consuming pain.

It doesn’t have to be that way.

For the longest time I have helped people like you, as much as my time allowed. They often told me about their friends and family members who also needed help. But many of them couldn’t take time off work to see a therapist, or they simply couldn’t afford it.

Every time I heard that scenario, I thought something is wrong with this picture! People need to be able to get help without it breaking the bank or forcing them to take time off work that they have to make up later. There has to be another way!

I spent a year exploring how I might be able to reach more people with the tools I offer in the counseling office, that bring grief relief and long-lasting change.

I'm pleased to be able to offer an at home program that we can do together.

What you'll learn in this masterclass is a skillset that will not only make a difference in your life today, but you're also going to take these skills with you the rest of your life. So, the time you invest now will continue to reward you year after year, whenever life throws a curveball and loss comes your way.

It's a lot like learning to ride a bicycle. Once you learn how to ride your first two-wheeler, you have the information you need to ride any bike for the rest of your life.

So while you'll be able to use what you learn here to honor your loss, process your grief, and heal your heart, the personal transformation you experience and new skill set you gain will serve you well far beyond this specific season.
