Welcome to 360 Grief

Bringing Grief Full Circle from Pain to Healing to Remembering with Hope and Love.

"Finding your way through grief is hard, you may feel isolated and alone, it helps to have someone to talk to who understands this process. I walked alone for a long time, stuffed my feelings and ignored my pain. It came out anyway, in unexpected and hurtful ways. I finally realized with the help of family, friends and great mentors, the only way to heal was to feel the pain, express it, and turn it into purpose.  I am forever grateful to those who have walked beside me and continue to do so in this healing journey." ~ Mari Riedlinger, 360grief@gmail.com 

 

I am a wife, mother of 5, and grandmother of 4.  I am also legally blind and know the pain of loss in a disability.  I have been an office manager, a pre-school teacher and currently a caregiver to my 94 year old mother.  My husband and I have been married since 1995 and we live in Everett, WA. 

 

     I have had several traumas and  losses in my life.  My father passed away due to illness when I was 14.  I lost most of my eyesight and the ability to drive and the independence that goes with that in 2006. In early 2017 my brother passed away and 3 months later, the most traumatic loss was the death of my 20 yr old son Trevor, on May 20, 2017, to a drug overdose.  

 

     After the loss of Trevor, I was lost for a while but found hope and healing in different therapy modalities. I learned that the only way to heal the pain was to feel the pain. I also embraced my spirituality and sought healing from many different places. I became a Certified Biblical Counselor in 2023 and then went on to pursue a Grief Educator Cerification from David Kessler. 

 

     My life is now dedicated to helping others with losses, especially bereaved parents and those with disabilites. I have training in Healing Timeline Therapy, Pyschodrama, and am pursuing NLP training. 

 

I offer one on one sessions via Zoom. If you are ready to start your healing journey, I would love to help. You can reach me via social media or email on the icons above.
