Grief and Loss

It’s hard to explain how you feel.

Holidays aren’t the same. Family traditions and events fail to bring the joy they once did. As you look around the room at the family, see the smiling faces, and hear all the laughter, the first thing that comes to mind is, “How can they be so happy?”

A room surrounded by a hundred people feels like the loneliest place in the world. Everyone means well and only wants to help. They say the pain will turn to peace one day soon. Fear of disappointing family and friends and causing them to worry only adds sadness on top of sorrow.

Significant loss can make it difficult to move forward, even for the strongest among us. You may not know how or where to begin to look toward a different future. It’s too frightening even to think about going there.

All the hopes and dreams are gone, crushed by your grief.

Grief and loss are unique – to each person.

People suffer varying types of grief, depending on the loss they’ve experienced.

It’s easy to reason out a response to an unplanned and unpredicted loss. The truth is it’s difficult to predict and know precisely how grief will affect you until you go through such an experience.

I am here to help you cope and understand the challenges associated with your loss, such as emotional, social, physical, and spiritual. I will come alongside you and help you understand the grief process.

The process is unique to you and everyone in your world. How others grieve is not the same as how you grieve and vise-versa.

Overcoming grief from loss takes time.

Grief and loss therapy provides a safe place to talk openly about the things that may feel uncomfortable for you to talk about with friends and family.

Grief is not always about losing a loved one to death. Many types of losses can cause the same symptoms and challenges of losing someone through death. The pain is real, nonetheless.

If accepting your loss is still a struggle, if life feels meaningless, if you’re having panic and anxiety attacks, suicidal thoughts, trouble facing the day most days, etc., there is help for you.
