Huge news

As you may or may not know I have been campaigning, advocating and collecting stories from people on how receiving grief counselling as part of the treatment process at diagnosis would benefit them and how there is a lack of resources and support for this. Well I have received news that our ridings MPP is interested in sitting down and talking about what is needed, missing and supports that is needed.

I thank you all that have already shared your stories and support for this. Together we are making a difference. Please keep spreading this message and sharing it around.

You are not alone.

Day 2 A lot of people look “fine”…

But inside, they’re exhausted.

Carrying trauma
Managing chronic illness
Holding everything together for everyone else

You don’t have to do that alone.

If this resonates, send me a message.
Even a simple “hey” is a start.

My name is Corey, Founder & Executive Director of Corey’s Coaching Corner – Healing Beyond Diagnosis Initiative, a grief-informed coaching, advocacy, and recovery support practice based in Renfrew County and serving the Ottawa Valley.

I am reaching out to explore opportunities for collaboration around what I believe is a significant and often overlooked gap in care: early grief-informed emotional support for individuals and families navigating acquired brain injury (ABI), traumatic brain injury (TBI), chronic illness, trauma, disability, and life-changing diagnoses.

Through both professional experience supporting individuals living with ABI/TBI and personal lived experience navigating persistent post-concussion symptoms resulting from sports injuries and accidents, I have developed a deep understanding of the emotional, psychological, and practical challenges that follow neurological injury, chronic illness, and disability.

While physical rehabilitation and clinical treatment remain essential components of recovery, many individuals and families are also silently navigating profound grief—grief related to:

- loss of functioning  

- altered identity  

- reduced independence  

- relationship strain  

- emotional overwhelm  

- caregiver burden  

- uncertainty surrounding the future

These experiences often contribute to depression, anxiety, isolation, trauma responses, and other mental health challenges that can significantly affect rehabilitation outcomes, quality of life, and family well-being.

At Corey’s Coaching Corner, our mission is grounded in a simple truth:

> You Are More Than Your Diagnosis  

> Support. Healing. Hope.

My vision is to complement existing healthcare, rehabilitation, and community support by providing accessible, grief-informed coaching, advocacy, education, family support, and systems navigation using a blended model of holistic healing principles, evidence-informed therapeutic strategies, trauma-informed care, and compassionate community connection.

Initially focused on online support delivery to serve a broad range of individuals and families,  long-term vision includes support groups, educational workshops, advocacy partnerships, and collaborative programming with healthcare and nonprofit organizations throughout Ontario and eventually across Canada.

I would welcome the opportunity to connect with your organization to discuss:

- identified service gaps in emotional recovery support  

- opportunities for partnership or pilot collaboration  

- family-centered grief-informed programming  

- advocacy initiatives supporting ABI/TBI, disability, trauma, and chronic illness communities  

- ways we can collectively strengthen recovery pathways for those navigating life-changing conditions

I believe there is a meaningful opportunity to build a more compassionate and holistic model of support—one that recognizes that healing extends beyond diagnosis.

Thank you for your time, your service, and your commitment to those living with complex health and recovery journeys. I would be honoured to explore how we may work together.

Warm regards,

Saw these in a local barber shop. I never would have thought of a supportive barber shop but they do exist
