Grief & Loss

Just hearing the word grief can be overwhelming. Grief takes many forms and comes from countless experiences. What feels like a passing storm to one person may strike like a tsunami to another. Things are getting better and then boom, you hear her favorite song and you’re back to zero. What many share is the belief they’re grieving the wrong way. Or moving on is disrespectful to your lost love. The truth is: there is no correct way to grieve. There is no “normal” amount of time. Therapy can help you process these emotions and begin healing.

While grief is most associated with the death of a loved one, it can be caused by many other life changes.

At its core, grief is about loss and change. You feel pain from your loss and then face the painful changes that follow. For example: a husband who always handled the family finances passes away. Now his widow feels overwhelmed, not only by her grief and his absence but also by the unfamiliar responsibility left in his place. A painful loss is compounded by a painful adjustment.

Grief can feel endless—like it’s feeding on itself. But you don’t have to stay stuck in that pain. Therapy provides a safe space to explore your feelings and begin to heal.

Healing is possible, and you deserve it.
