Welcome to You

Hello, I am Dr Erika Epps a.k.a. Dr. E. Just like you, I have known invading, uninvited, chaotic, and the emotionally distressing experience called GRIEF! My dad passed away December 18, 2020, and my Gram, a month to the day earlier thus plunging me on a journey of loss I did not want to travel.

 

GRIEF does not ask for permission nor care if you are not ready. It is coming kicking down your heart's door.

 

Have you experienced many emotional feelings, cognitive distress, and trying to navigate living when you feel so lost?

 

Walking around in circles looking for something and it is right in front of you?

 

Feeling like you are walking in brain fog and nothing releases you from it?

 

Trying to stop crying or wishing you could cry?

 

Sleep...what's that?

 

Feeling like you have to stay strong for others around you yet secretly you want someone to see your weakness?

 

Does this sound familiar? You are not alone, I promise you.

 

Grief is unseen yet it is powerfully felt. That is why grief support is crucial to healing and finding acceptance and meaning.

Here is a photo of my dad and I on a beautiful sunny day in Antioch, California, which was the last time I saw him in person. He was diagnosed with Vascular Dementia, and it was a seven-year process of decline. This photo represents a beautiful day of love, presence, and fluid memory. This day was a gift to me to embrace for the final time the dad I knew loved me and knew me in those moments. Precious and priceless!
