Grief & Loss Therapy

The best way out is always through

Are you grieving a loss?

Grief is a natural emotional response to a significant loss, whether it is through the death of a loved one, relationship breakdown, or the loss of something meaningful. However, there is no one “right” way to grieve. Some may cry and sleep for days, others may use humor to ease the pain, and still others may feel numb or distract themselves with work. Some people recover quickly, but others may take some time, experiencing intense grief for months.

 Some typical symptoms you may be experience could be:

Intense sadness

Anxiety

Sleep difficulties

Loss of appetite

Shock or numbness

Restlessness

Loss of sex drive

Guilt

Anger

Poor concentration

With normal grief, these symptoms will slowly diminish with the passage of time.

When should you seek grief & loss therapy?

Perhaps for you, the pain of grief may seem to last for years without showing any improvement, or is so unbearable it takes over your life. 

​

You may feel stuck in your grief, as memories of your loss continue to be exhausting, deeply painful, and replaying in your mind. Or your grief may bring back some older trauma or develop into other mental health issues, such as depression. 

If this is you, therapy can help you get unstuck in your grief, better cope with your grief symptoms, and eventually come to terms with your loss.
