What Client's Have to Say...
"Lou Bacon: a name synonymous with a great listener, practiced, non-judgmental and accepting, and highly skilled. She has logged more than 3,000 hours doing grief work for Hospice alone. As a former colleague of hers, within our respective professorial duties, I saw her students in the psychology department revere her for extensive knowledge, gentle humor, winsomeness, wisdom, and acceptance of each and every learner. Because Lou is an expert in the field of grief work, she has helped others studying to do social work, by teaching a course dealing solely with grief and loss. Lou’s specialty rests in grief work and only grief work. She not only has the genuinely warm personality needed to help others who have experienced grief and loss, she is the expert."
- Jean A. Dimock, D. Min. – Writer and Domestic Violence Specialist
"I want to tell you how Lou Bacon has guided me through the grief process of my brother's 7-year illness and eventual death. She listened carefully to me, explained what his dying journey's process might be, encouraged me to: feel whatever emotions I had; discuss my thoughts; ask questions; sit quietly with nature; and especially to celebrate the many special moments of our lives together as siblings. She gave me suggestions on ways to discuss death with my brother if he so desired and ways to help me deal honestly yet positively with my sadness and grief. Lou is compassionate, knowledgeable, non-judgmental and reassuring. I highly recommend her as a grief guide to walk with you if you or a loved one are dealing with end-of-life issues and challenges."
- Carol Despres, MS Counseling
"Lou helped me tremendously with my grief when I lost my 26 yr old son and recently, my husband of 40 years. Her steadfast support, kindness and caring presence helped my agony as I gradually began to cope with my new reality after life-changing loss.
Visits with her were like doors opening to new thoughts and a better understanding of my very personal process. So dedicated to individualized grief support, it always felt as though the experience was very meaningful for both of us. Lou recognizes everyone’s journey with grief is different and she continuously impressed me with her approach to loss, and her creative ideas about healing.
I fully endorse Lou Bacon as a champion of emotional safety and guidance for grief support."
