Raymond Fox, at the age of 7 years old and in 1985, was hit by a car and experienced one of the worst forms of loss. Raymond broke his neck at the C-1 and C-2 vertebrae, (the base of the skull for those not knowing), severing his spinal cord. From then on Raymond has been a quadriplegic, no use of his limbs and in need of a respirator to breathe. A keen loss that he deals with on a regular basis. An experience that makes him uniquely empathetic to the losses of those around him and highly capable at counseling you through your painful losses as well.
That is the experience but there are more experiences with loss that moved Raymond into becoming a grief counselor. In 2005 Raymond experienced a massive cerebral hemorrhage that incapacitated him even further. Raymond was left without the ability of speech. Of all the things that could happen, what little was left to him, was gone. With much therapy and recovery, he overcame and got back to being his old self, but better. Stress was also a debilitating factor that delayed recovery. A hard time that could have been better, with proper stress management techniques. During this time of recovery Raymond went back to school. He obtained required educational skills for grief and loss counseling as well as stress management consulting and counseling. Raymond would become a counselor to help others like you.
It is with this experience, this education and this drive that Raymond is above and beyond others able to help you in your time of trials. Raymond has interest and expertise in divorce, PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder), terminal illness counseling for individual and individuals losing a loved one, sudden death losses, losses where death isn't involved i.e. amputation, job loss, empty nest syndrome, innocence lost and any other form of loss.
