Understanding Grief: Why You Feel Stuck & How to Release It
Grief is not something you “get over.” It’s something you learn to evolve through.
Whether you’ve experienced the death of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, a career change, or even a shift in the way you see the world, grief can feel like a weight that never fully lifts.
But grief isn’t just about sadness. It’s a natural response to change—an energy that needs to move. When we suppress grief or try to “move on” too quickly, it doesn’t disappear. Instead, it can become stuck in our bodies, minds, and emotions, leading to feelings of exhaustion, disconnection, and even physical pain.
Why Does Grief Feel So Heavy?
Grief is an ongoing process, not a single event. It can show up as:
✔️ Emotional exhaustion and sadness that lingers
✔️ Feeling “stuck” in the past or unable to move forward
✔️ Anxiety, guilt, or regret surrounding loss
✔️ Physical symptoms like tension, heaviness, or difficulty breathing
✔️ A sense of isolation, even when surrounded by others
Many people think grief is just about loss—but grief also arises from change.
The end of a friendship or relationship
A career shift or job loss
Moving to a new place, losing a community
Health struggles, chronic illness, or aging
The loss of identity or a version of yourself
If any of these resonate with you, you’re not alone.
A New Way to Work With Grief
Grief was never meant to be carried alone. It’s something that moves through us when we have the tools and support to process it.
That’s why Grief Educators Daniela Hess and Jacob Vermeulen created The Grief Course—a 4-session, self-paced journey designed to help you:
✔️ Understand grief as a process, not a problem
✔️ Release grief from your body through breathwork and movement
✔️ Honor grief through sound, visualization, and ancestral healing
✔️ Move forward in a way that feels safe and nourishing
This course isn’t about pushing grief aside. It’s about creating space to feel and process it in a healthy, supported way—so it doesn’t feel overwhelming or stuck.
What’s Inside the Grief Course?
In this 4-session self-paced course, Daniela and Jacob guide you through:
1. Understanding Grief
Debunk myths and misconceptions about grief. Learn how grief affects the mind and body, and why moving through it intentionally can change how you experience loss.
2. Meeting the Mind
Explore the emotions tied to grief—like guilt, regret, and longing. Learn how to meet these feelings with compassion instead of resistance.
3. Somatic Healing & Movement
Your body holds onto grief. Through guided breathwork, sound, and movement exercises, you’ll learn how to release stored grief without feeling overwhelmed.
4. Integration & Transformation
Grief doesn’t disappear—it transforms. This session helps you integrate your experience into daily life so you can honor what was lost while embracing the present.
Who Is This Course For?
The Grief Course is for anyone navigating loss or change, whether fresh or years in the past. It’s for you if:
You feel stuck in grief and don’t know how to move forward
You carry regret, guilt, or heaviness related to a loss
You want practical tools to process grief in a safe, embodied way
You want to honor your grief without feeling consumed by it
We believe grief work should be accessible. That’s why we’ve made this a self-paced course you can return to anytime.
Grief is an Expression of Love
“The pain of grief is inevitable; unnecessary suffering can be optional.” – Daniela Hess
Grief is not something to rush through. It’s something to attend to with care, curiosity, and compassion. This course is an invitation to move with grief, rather than against it—so you can find relief, connection, and ultimately, peace.
We welcome you with open arms. If you feel a YES in your heart, this journey will serve you.
