Grief & loss therapy

There is no correct way to carry what has changed.

Grief can follow a death, a diagnosis, a relationship shift, a move, a change in identity, or the loss of a future you expected.

Grief is personal

You do not have to explain why it hurts.

Loss does not move in a straight line, and it does not always look the way people expect.

You may feel deeply sad, numb, angry, relieved, distracted, guilty, or all of these at different moments. You may be navigating a loss that others do not recognize, or finding that everyone has moved on while your world still feels altered.

Therapy can offer a steady, private place to make sense of what is happening—without pressure to “get over it,” find a silver lining, or grieve according to someone else’s timeline.

Grief may arise before a death when someone you love is seriously ill, and it may feel different again as holidays or anniversaries approach. Therapy can help you consider the traditions you want to keep, the plans you want to change, and how to communicate what you need. Remembering someone and continuing to live do not have to be opposing choices.

This may resonate if

Life is continuing, but you feel changed.

You are doing what needs to be done, yet the person you were before the loss may feel far away.

The loss has complicated layers.

You may be grieving the person, the relationship, the role you had, or the hopes you still held.

You are tired of minimizing it.

Others may mean well, but their attempts to comfort you can leave little room for the truth of your experience.

In therapy

We can make room for both sorrow and life.

The work may include telling the story of what happened, tending to the practical and emotional changes around it, exploring unfinished feelings, and finding ways to remain connected to what matters. There is no expectation that grief should disappear for therapy to be useful.
