Elaine S       I've been working with Maia Berens and You University on a regular basis for over a year. You University is a valuable and highly professional provider of life coaching and related services. Ms. Berens has been reliable and helpful as promised in all of my dealings with her. Her advice is sound and never judgmental. Ms. Berens has been thoughtful in suggesting what I might do to improve a difficult situation, and extremely creative in sharing stories from her own experience to illustrate techniques for managing emotions. I would recommend You University to anyone who desires to be and do better in any aspect of their life - life is about the process, and Maia Berens has knowledge to share. Posted on 10/14/2010

Maria S.     Maia Beren's coaching program literally changed my life, excelerated my growth and moved me towards a potential in myself that I didn't believe existed until she taught me how to see my true being and how to act authentically in any situation. I am so Thankful that she shared her knowledge and teaching with me as coach and mentor. What you can learn by participating in her program is invaluable. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to make permanent changes that stick! Posted on 10/14/2010

Grief

This post is a tribute to my Sadie

Grief is an emotion that is not only for the loss of a human life. It can about the loss of a relationship, a childhood, or in this case ..........my dog Sadie.

  

Grief is an emotion defined as:
1. Pain of mind on account of something in the past; mental suffering arising from any cause, as misfortune, loss of friends, misconduct of one's self or others, etc.; sorrow; sadness. [1913 Webster]

Grief has stages that are individual to each human and are not experienced in any specific order, but they are as follows:

1. SHOCK & DENIAL
2. PAIN & GUILT
3. ANGER & BARGAINING
4. "DEPRESSION", REFLECTION, LONELINESS
5. THE UPWARD TURN
6. RECONSTRUCTION & WORKING THROUGH
7. ACCEPTANCE & HOPE
as taken from  aboutgrief.com

I learned these past few days that there is no time line for when grief will hit you. If you don't deal with grief it will come out in some way. I lost my Grandmother a year ago, and the loss of my dog triggered some incredibly healing tears for me. I had not been able to cry up until this last loss.
I learned that no matter what your conditioning as you were growing up, grief has to be expressed. It is a healthy response to loss. The human body needs to let go of trapped emotion or it can cause illness in many forms.
I miss my dog, but she is in a better place. She taught me many things about giving love and receiving it back as well. She has allowed me to grieve for other losses and understand the importance of being vulnerable. Thank you Sadie for the lessons in life you shared with me, and I will see you on the other side.........
