Vlog: Helping a Friend Deal With Loss


I had hoped to get this vlog posted earlier, but I had to go to the doctor with a foot issue.  Such is life with chronic health issues.  Actually, this turned out to be an ingrown toenail.  Not a huge deal, but painful nonetheless.  I didn't want to put off getting it taken care of any longer as my toe was sore, a bit red and a little puffy.  Yow!  So, off I went to the doctor's office.  Now, I have a whopping bandage on the toe until tomorrow morning when I can downsize to a Band-Aid.  

Anyway, on to today's vlog topic.  In this video, I talk about how to help a friend deal with loss.  That loss can be due to death, moving, abandonment, misunderstanding, or suicide.  I also discuss loss of a child, parent/grandparent, spouse, partner, job, and house.  What to say, what not to say, what to do--I talk about it.  

Have you ever helped your friend through a loss?  Has a friend helped you?  What helped you as a griever and what didn't?  Did a friend tell you what you did that helped him/her the most during their difficult time?  I'd love for you to share your experiences either in the comments below or through email (amy@acnlifecoach.com).  Thank you.

Vlog: When Friendship Hurts


Hi!  Here's today's vlog post about when friendship hurts.  I read "When Friendship Hurts," by Jan Yager, Ph.D. about a year ago and it really hit home.  I learned so much from this book about when friendships hurt and the role each of us played in that hurt.  If you are having friendship issues, I highly recommend that you read this book.  

In this video, I discuss various situations when friendship can hurt, including abandonment, death, and lifestyle change.  Please view the video, then let me know if you can think of any other situations when friendship can hurt.  Thanks.  Take care.

Vlog: Life Coaching Specialties, Part 2 of 2



Hi!  I'm back with the second part of my video on my coaching specialties.  I intended to have this up yesterday, but I ran into some technical difficulties.  The video kept uploading upside down.  Frustrating!  But, I'm happy to say I eventually figured out how to fix it, so you don't have to turn your phone or another device upside down to view it.  Yay!

This time around, I'm discussing friendship coaching.  Friendship coaching can include anything from help making new friends following a move, to help to deal with the death of a close friend.  If you would like more information about friendship coaching, please email me at amy@acnlifecoach.com, or visit my website at www.acnlifecoach.com.  I'd love to hear from you! Have a great weekend.
