It can be difficult to deal with loss. You may feel a range of feelings and thoughts as part of the grieving process. Grief therapy can help you process the challenges of grief and loss.
Grief is the Response to a Loss
Some of the types of losses that can result in grief include:
- The loss of a loved one (partner, friends, family, etc.)
- Loss of ideals or dreams, such as inability to have a child, having a close family, etc.
- Loss of ability or wellness, such as developing a chronic condition like chronic pain or finding out you have a serious illness like cancer.
- Loss of connection or belonging, such as losing friends and family after moving away or differences in opinion.
- Loss of a pet.
- Loss of something you never had, such as not having a supportive parent or a safe home to return to.
- Other losses.
Each of these comes with its own challenges and struggles.
How I Can Help You with Your Grief
Your grief may need to be witnessed and heard. This need can be difficult to fulfill in a society that is often grief-adverse and uncomfortable with showing of emotion. I strive to create a place in therapy where you grief can be witnessed and a place where it is safe for your to process your pain and loss. Here, your pain and emotions are welcome. Your questions and concerns are answered with compassion and care with the knowledge that they are an important part of you coming to terms with the loss.
Grief can also become stuck for various reasons. If that is the case with you, we will work together to remove the barriers in your grieving process and help you navigate the challenges. I bring understanding and compassion to the difficult process of dealing with loss.
Sometimes, you just need help to process the loss. What the loss meant to you and how to readjust your life after the loss. This process can be difficult and I can help guide you through the process, in a way that’s specific to your unique, personality, loss, grieving style, and circumstances.
