Grief & Loss

Are you feeling overwhelmed by a recent loss?

Has the sense of grief become so strong that you struggle to get through everyday activities?

Loss of a loved one changes your life. When it first occurs, it often seems impossible that life could go on without the person who passed away or left. But life can move on. With encouragement and expert grief counseling, you can regain your sense of peace and overcome this intense trial.

How Grief Can Take Over Your Life

When in the grips of grief, you may find your mind replaying a certain pattern. You may badger yourself with questions, trying to better understand what happened and why:

• Was it my fault?

• How did this happen?

• How did I not see the signs?

• What could have I done differently to change the outcome?

More often than not, these questions only poke at the wound and make it impossible to focus. The same is true of spending time sinking into remorseful thinking:

• “I wish I had spent our last moment together differently.”

• “I can't believe I never got to say goodbye.”

• “I will never forgive myself for X and Y.”

• “I just want to see my loved one, one last time.”

How a Professional Therapist Can Help

There is no overnight solution for grief or loss. It takes time and knowledgeable treatment from a counselor to create healthy coping mechanisms as you move through the stages of grief. Your counselor might also identify personal characteristics or pre-existing trauma that hinders your ability to find peace and focus. This could range from depression to a fear of abandonment.
