Grief / Loss

What is Grief and Loss?

Grief is a natural, intense emotional reaction to loss. While most commonly associated with the death of a loved one, grief can also arise from other significant losses, such as the end of a relationship, job loss, loss of health, or the loss of a life as it was known.

Grief is a deeply personal process, and there is no "right" way or timeline for it. It can involve a wide range of emotions, including sadness, anger, guilt, confusion, and despair.

Our Approach to Grief and Loss

We offer a compassionate and safe haven for you to process your feelings without judgment. Counseling helps you navigate the complex, often non-linear journey of grief, find healthy ways to cope with pain, and eventually integrate the loss into your life in a way that allows for continued growth and healing.
