Grief & Loss Counseling
Loss of a Loved One
Support after the death of a partner, parent, child, sibling, friend, or beloved companion.
The death of someone you love changes the shape of your life. In the early days, grief can feel like shock — foggy, unreal, physically exhausting. Later, it can become quieter and more complicated: waves that come out of nowhere, guilt about what you did or didn't do, and the strange work of learning to live in a world they're no longer in.
In sessions, we make room for all of it — the sadness, the anger, the relief, the love that has nowhere to go — and gently rebuild a sense of meaning and daily rhythm at a pace that feels right for you.
Grief can look like
- Waves of sadness, numbness, or crying that come and go without warning.
- Trouble sleeping, eating, or concentrating.
- Guilt about what was said, unsaid, done, or left undone.
- Anger — at the loss, at other people, at yourself, at the world.
- Feeling disconnected from people who don't understand.
- Physical symptoms: fatigue, chest tightness, headaches.

Common questions
- How long will I feel this way?
- There is no timeline. Grief softens and changes over time, but it doesn't disappear on a schedule — and it doesn't need to. Therapy helps you carry it in a way that lets you keep living.
- Is it normal to feel relief along with the sadness?
- Yes. Especially after a long illness or a complicated relationship, relief is a common and human part of grief. It doesn't mean you didn't love the person.
