Empathic Support Through Loss

Grief is a natural response to loss but that doesn’t mean you have to go through it alone. Grief therapy offers a supportive space to process loss, understand your emotions, and find a way forward while honoring what or who you’ve lost.

Whether your grief is recent or long-standing, therapy can help you navigate the complex emotional, physical, and psychological effects of loss.

Why Seek Grief Therapy?

Grief therapy is a specialized form of counseling that helps individuals cope with the emotional pain associated with loss. Loss may include:

- Death of a loved on.

-Miscarriage, Stillbirth, or Infertility

-Divorce or relationship loss

-Loss of health or physical ability

-Career or identity changes

-Anticipatory grief related to illness or aging

Grief Therapy meets you exactly where you are.

SIGNS YOU MAY BENEFIT FROM GRIEF THERAPY:

While grief looks different for everyone, you may benefit from grief therapy if you are experiencing:

  • Persistent sadness, numbness, or emotional overwhelm

  • Difficulty functioning at work or home

  • Anxiety, guilt, or unresolved anger

  • Sleep disturbances or appetite changes

  • Feeling “stuck” or disconnected from life

  • Avoidance of reminders or inability to stop reliving the loss

GRIEF LOOKS DIFFERENT FOR EVERYONE

Some people feel intense emotions immediately.

Others feel numb or delayed grief months or years later.

Some grieve quietly; others feel overwhelmed. All of these experiences are valid.

You do not need to be “ready” or have the right words to begin therapy, just a willingness to show up.

Seeking support is not a sign of weakness, it’s an act of care for yourself.
