Does it feel like grief has touched every part of your life?

We experience many different types of losses over the course of our lives. From the death of a loved one, to the end of a relationship to the loss we feel when something we had planned and hoped for in our lives gets taken away from us.

Maybe you find yourself consumed with sadness, constantly replaying your final days together and wondering how you are going to live with this ache in your heart. Suddenly you hear a song on the radio or see something silly on TV and grab your phone to text your loved one, only to be reminded immediately that they are not there which feels like a gut punch yet again.

The idea of going through a birthday, anniversary or holiday with a “happy face” feels impossible. You find yourself feeling annoyed one minute because your loss is the elephant in the room that no one is talking about but the next minute you feel relief because you were worried that if you started talking, you would start crying and never stop.

Lately, it seems like the grief is so overwhelming that you are just going through the motions of life, but still feeling so lost.  

A loss can be incredibly isolating and seeing others move on with their lives can make you feel like you're in a different world from those around you. A loss can also be incredibly confusing because just when you thought you “should” be feeling better, you find yourself still struggling.

You know that this is too heavy a burden to bear alone and you are finally ready to seek support. There is hope that you can feel joy in your life again, and I’m so glad you are here!

It can be hard to look forward and think about the future when we are currently hurting so much. However, it is important to have a space to process all the emotions that you are feeling so you can start to regain a sense of control and purpose, at your own pace.

It’s hard to imagine there will be a time when the sadness will not feel so all encompassing, where you will laugh again without immediately crying and where you will feel whole again. I can help hold on to all those possibilities, even if you can’t see them yet.

Grief is the pain we experience after losing something or someone we love, but it looks different for everyone.

It’s really important to remember that there is…

No one way to grieve

No time frame that is universal

No right way to do it

Grief counseling can help you:

  • Navigate sadness, anger, guilt and confusion, find pathways to move forward while still honoring those feelings and giving you the space to grieve

  • Honor the person or situation that was lost so you can continue to hold those memories near to your heart

  • Manage anticipatory grief for those facing the impending loss of a loved one in order to help navigate feelings beforehand

  • Cope with complicated grief because life and relationships are complex, and grief can be unpredictable and challenging

  • Face fears about your own mortality

You’re not alone.

Grieve fully, live fully.

FAQs

  • Grief is a highly individual experience, so there's no set timeline for how long it lasts. Factors such as the nature of the loss, personal coping mechanisms, and support systems can all influence the grieving process. It's important to allow yourself to feel and express your emotions in your own time, and seeking support from friends, family, or professionals can be helpful.

  • Not at all. Sometimes, the second year is the hardest because we expected it to be so difficult the first year that we normalized what we were feeling. In addition, with time, people don’t check in as often, leaving you more alone with your feelings. Additionally, something else that is going on in our life can trigger a grief response for us years later (for example, getting married or having a child and missing our loved one who can’t experience these joyful occasions) and therapy can be helpful to navigate that period of time.

  • Grief therapy can address a wide range of losses, including:

    ·       Death of a loved one including family members, friends, or pets

    ·       Miscarriage and termination of a pregnancy

    ·       The end of a significant relationship

    ·       Diagnosis of a chronic illness or major health change that can trigger grief over the loss of one's former self or lifestyle

    ·       Loss of a job, career, home or unmet goals and life plans that may no longer be achievable
