Grief & Loss

​

When things change, it feels like the rug has been pulled out from under your feet. When someone important in your life dies, it feels like that a thousand times. Loss can disorient us, bring up old and new fears, and make us question everything. Loss changes plans, challenges assumptions, and makes the world feel unfamiliar. 

​

Grief is the human response to loss and change. We mourn inwardly and outwardly, lightly and heavily. There's no right way to grieve. 

​

We can experience loss and grieve for many reasons:

​

*Death of a partner, child, family member, friend, or pet

*Having to make major transitions like moving, graduating, retiring

*Caring for a loved one with a long-term illness or disability, or cognitive or mobility decline

*Anticipatory grief with hospice or a terminal illness

​

​

Anxiety, Depression, Existential Re-evaluation

​

Grief is often accompanied by anxiety/perfectionism, depression, stage of life issues, questioning of beliefs/religion, and existential exploration. With or without grief and loss, if you are struggling with any of these, we can work on them together.
