Grief and Loss

There is a suffocating sense of sadness.

The loss makes you feel like your world suddenly turned upside down.

Grieving from that loss feels like being in an emotional whirlwind as you grapple with shock, numbness, and even anger.

After the loss, making sense of the world around you is challenging.

Everyday tasks now seem impossible. Familiar places evoke painful memories, daily life seems unimportant, and life seems uncertain.

Right now, your world feels empty.

It is typical for someone experiencing grief and loss to experience a range of emotions, including anger, guilt, confusion, and isolation.

Everyone grieves differently over a loss. Therefore, there is no set time for the grieving process.

As time goes on, these feelings can ebb and flow. You may disconnect from friends or family, and you may feel that no one else can understand your pain.

It will not be easy, but there is a way forward.

Therapy can provide the connection you seek.

Meeting with a therapist can help you reconnect to the world. It is essential to recognize that there is no “right” way to grieve and that you will experience emotional stages during the grieving process.

Engagement in therapy will encourage self-compassion during what can be an incredibly isolating experience.

When collaborating with clients, I encourage having an open conversation about how they feel about the loss. Then, we work together to find ways to overcome their emotional turmoil, allowing the client to begin to process their grief.

No one ever wholly forgets their loss, but they can learn ways to help them move forward. I know from experience as a therapist that they can learn to process their emotions, validate their experiences, and explore the multifaceted nature of their grief.

Take the first step.

Taking the first step toward healing can be daunting, but you don’t have to grieve alone.

Choose a powerful act of self-care. Therapy can help you gain a perspective on your grief and loss, and I will be by your side throughout the process – no matter how long it takes.

I invite you to explore the possibility of therapy to process your grief, find connection, and rediscover joy.
