Grief and Loss

It feels like darkness is following you.

You feel numb and unable to connect with others.

Things that used to make you happy have now lost value.

You cry all the time or maybe realize you have not shed a tear.

Sometimes it is easier to know what happened – you lost something or someone you loved.

But other times, losses are harder to identify. It makes the grieving process more confusing, like leaving an unhealthy partner, your kids going to college, or how you used to be before.

Acknowledging the reality of something ending is the first step to recovering.

This can be challenging. Many times, the loss involves conflicting feelings.

When something ends in our lives, people supporting us tend to focus on how to help us feel better, hoping that we will somehow feel whole again by looking ahead.

Embracing the pain of our loss is not easy to do alone.

And you don’t have to do this on your own. We can help you hold this pain.

Persistent traumatic grief can cause you to cycle through many stages where you struggle to accept your loss. One day you might feel angry. The next, you might feel depressed.

You notice that you are acting out in unhealthy ways making your life feel like a never-ending cycle of pain.

Grief therapy is where you will find a way out of the grip of sorrow. We will make room for you to share with us what is lost without the expectation that you should be fine by now.

We will walk with you as you travel through the passage of grief, helping you find meaning again.

Experiencing a loss requires developing a new self-identity, which is hard to do alone. We’ll provide strategies to help you.

We are here to help.
