About the Founder
Maryam Khademian, Certified Life Coach and Registered Professional Counsellor, specializes in grief counselling and is the founder of Village Grief Counselling here in Vancouver. Maryam was born in Tehran, Iran. She graduated as a respiratory therapist and worked as a respiratory therapist for 12 years. Having lived through Iran’s Revolution, the loss of her father at a young age and eight years of war, her real-life experiences have fostered a warm, empathetic, and compassionate counselling approach.
Services at Village Grief Counselling
I provide a confidential, culturally-sensitive, and non-judgemental counselling service, in which clients are supported in their grief process and invited to explore possibilities for new beginnings.
End-of-Life Transition Grief Counselling
It’s hard to know where to start when facing the end of life transition. Complex and opposing emotions and thoughts, along with physical and emotional pain, could bring a lot of confusion for the client, facing the end of life. Maintaining one’s autonomy and authenticity in decision-making during such an emotionally charged time can be a challenge. My goal is to provide a culturally sensitive and confidential space for the client with an emphasis on emotional and spiritual wellness, allowing them to maintain dignity and independence through this difficult transition.

Relationship Grief & Loss
You and your partner co-create a third entity—the living, breathing being that is your relationship which must be loved, nurtured and attended. Its end brings a collection of losses to be grieved, and together we will process this grief, re-establishing your inner harmony so you can reconnect with yourself.

Immigration Grief & Loss
Mourning your old country and family as well as traditions and heritage is completely normal as you learn to adjust to a new culture and its customs. It’s important to take time to grieve these losses and honour them, to open your heart and pave the way for the creation of new memories, blessings and experiences.

Finding Light in the Darkness
I aspire to create a stable community of support and services built around the client, their children and family going through the end-of-life transition. I aim to give them the gift of time; allowing them to full-heartedly experience these precious moments untethered from pain and grounded in the now.
