The Truth About Grief
Healing Grief and Family Trauma with Mind, Body & Soul Wellness
Because healing from grief requires more than just time or talk therapy —it requires heartfelt understanding, community, and the right support.
Welcome. I'm so glad you're here.💜
Karen Sibal, MA, FMCHC
Holistic Grief & Trauma Recovery Practitioner
Before my father died unexpectedly in 2023, our family had already lost six loved ones during the Covid years. What followed his death was far more than grief. It unearthed decades of family trauma, estrangement, betrayal, and wounds I didn't know existed. Traditional grief counselling wasn't enough. I needed something that addressed my mind, body, and spirit. That's why I created The Truth About Grief — for anyone whose loss has opened something deeper. If grief has made you physically sick, triggered older wounds, or left you stuck despite therapy, you're not broken. You just need a different kind of support.
I'm here to help you navigate grief in a way that's compassionate, grounded, holistic and truly transformative.

What Clients Are Saying
"I thought I was broken because I couldn't "get over" my mom's death while dealing with my brother's greed. Karen helped me realize I wasn't grieving one loss, but multiple ones, and they were the reason I was constantly sick. I'm so grateful Karen helped me find my way through all of it, including healing my symptoms and mental health, restoring my spirit and getting my life back."
Lisamarie J., 52
"When my wife died of cancer, her family blamed me for "not doing enough" and cut me off from my own grandchildren. I was devastated, sleep deprived and lost. I also had ongoing chest pain and panic attacks from the guilt and isolation. No one understood my pain. Karen helped me focus inward to restore my health and peace of mind, and to focus what was within my control - me."
Robert K., 62
"I thought I was losing my mind after my dad's fatal heart attack last year. My brother and sister started a smear campaign to paint me as "unstable" and cut me out of everything - even the funeral planning. I never thought in a million years I would be betrayed by my own blood. Karen helped me see it was calculated abuse that triggered my autoimmune flares. She got me out of chaos into calm, for good."
Seema C., 49
