Loss & Grief

May the memory of your loved one be a blessing. Today and always.

You keep asking yourself:

‘How am I supposed to live my life now?’

‘Why am I having these intense feelings now?’

‘Why do I want to lash out at people?’

“I don’t know how to tell my family and friends that I love them but I just want them to leave me alone.”

“ You can’t give me what I need right now because the pain is too intense and I don’t even know what I need right now.”

Your days may be blending together, getting up and going to work is hard, and your daily routine is no longer a routine but a dread.

You are grieving. And it is ok.

Grieving is a process of waves that come and go. You may start the day feeling ‘ok’ then suddenly the day is awful. Each day you are riding waves of emotions- you are making it through.

What is grief, mourning, and bereavement?

GREIF is generally described as the experience of losing someone to death. It can also include other losses such as a job, family separation, and identity.

MOURNING is the practice or ritual of coping to come to terms with the loss.

BEREAVEMENT is the feeling of loss as a person adapts to life without their loved one. There is no specific time frame for this but it tends to ebb and flow.

Grief/loss/bereavement involves:

Coming to terms with the reality of the loss

Moving through and coping with the pain of grief

Acclimating to the world without your loved one

Cultivating a meaningful connection with your loved one

What type of therapy works best?

Individual:

Together, you will gently grieve the loss of your loved one. You will learn coping techniques, engage in meaning-making activities, and adjust to your life without your loved one. Typically, sessions are 50 minutes long and occur weekly.

How will I know when it is time to stop therapy?

There is no certain time frame as everyone processes grief differently. For some people it may take weeks and for others, it may take months. In certain cases, grief can be prolonged and complex. We will set up goals and update them with your progress.

Group:

Not ready for individual therapy? No problem, we have support groups that form periodically to navigate your emotional experience through the community. As a group member, you will hear the stories of others, learn coping techniques, form new relationships, and find a safe space to grieve the loss of your loved one. Groups typically run 8 consecutive weeks and involve no more than 10 participants. While you are not required to speak, it provides tremendous support for others who may be feeling the exact same way you are.
