Grief brings feelings, emotions, thoughts, and questions resulting from the loss of people and pets, changes in status and health, and life transitions. Often unspoken, grief can leave us feeling overwhelmed and under supported.
As a certified grief coach in Indianapolis, IN, and founder of Good Grief Now!™, Rae Karim offers tools, resources, and practical strategies through individual and group coaching, informative workshops, and curated events to help you navigate the exploration and expression of your grief.
“It’s not what you think”
Grief is about more than just death or the loss of a loved one. We also grieve the loss of pets, possessions and even possibilities.
Rae Karim provides compassionate, comprehensive grief support through a variety of services designed to meet people where they are — emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
Small, supportive group settings where participants can connect through shared experiences. These sessions create space for storytelling, validation, and growth while learning how to grieve well together.
Personalized coaching that offers a safe space to explore your emotions, process your loss, and develop practical strategies for healing. Rae walks beside you — not to fix your grief, but to help you carry it well.
Custom training for professionals, faith leaders, educators, and caregivers who work closely with individuals facing grief. Learn how to be present, what language to avoid, and how to create emotionally safe environments for grieving individuals.
Below are the areas where Rae Karim offers compassionate and tailored grief support.
The death of a spouse, child, parent, sibling, or friend can shake your entire world. Rae provides space for you to honor your grief, explore your emotions, and begin the journey toward peace — without pressure or judgment.
The end of a relationship — whether romantic, platonic, or familial — often brings complex emotions like shame, sadness, anger, or guilt. Rae helps you acknowledge what was lost while gently guiding you toward healing and self-restoration.
Caring for others can be deeply meaningful, but it can also lead to emotional exhaustion, resentment, and unprocessed grief — especially after the caregiving ends. Rae supports caregivers in reclaiming space for themselves and making room to grieve what’s been given and lost.
Pets are family. Their passing can bring deep sorrow that often goes unacknowledged by others. Rae honors the depth of your bond and provides heartfelt support for the grief that follows the loss of a beloved animal companion.
Ministry can be rewarding — and lonely. Grief in faith communities often goes unspoken or mismanaged. Rae works with pastors, church leaders, and congregations to navigate spiritual grief, burnout, and loss within religious contexts.
Whether grieving the loss of a parent, the dream of parenthood, or wrestling with shifts in personal identity, this grief is real. Rae creates a compassionate space to unpack these layered losses and rediscover self-acceptance and strength.
Sudden job loss, prolonged unemployment, or a major financial setback can trigger grief around security, identity, and self-worth. Rae helps individuals process the emotional toll of financial upheaval while finding hope and empowerment for what’s next.
Grieving is a process. So is healing. Here’s how we walk with you every step of the way.
We begin with a free discovery call or consultation to understand your unique grief experience. This is a safe space to share your story, ask questions, and learn how Rae can support you moving forward.
Whether you need individual coaching, a workshop, or a grief retreat, Rae designs a care plan tailored to your emotional, spiritual, and situational needs — no one-size-fits-all here.
Through consistent sessions, compassionate guidance, and practical tools, you’ll learn to explore, express, and process your grief in healthy, life-affirming ways. You’ll be supported — not rushed.
Grief doesn’t disappear — but it can evolve. We’ll equip you with strategies, courage, and community to move forward with clarity, strength, and renewed purpose.
