Grief Therapy: Navigating the Pain of Loss
Grief can feel like an overwhelming wave that hits when you least expect it—a heaviness you can’t shake. You might feel disconnected from others, unsure how to move forward, or find yourself riding waves of sadness triggered by memories, places, or moments. It’s not just emotional; grief can affect your body too, showing up as fatigue, headaches, or sleepless nights. Even when the world keeps moving, it can feel like you’re standing still, trying to find your footing again.
Complicated Grief: When Healing Feels Stuck
Sometimes grief doesn’t ease with time. You may feel trapped in sadness, anger, or confusion that doesn’t seem to lift—like you’re stuck in the same emotional loop. This is known as complicated grief, when loss feels never-ending and impossible to accept. Therapy can help you process that pain, find meaning again, and gently reengage with life at your own pace.
Traumatic Grief: When Loss Overwhelms
When loss happens suddenly or under painful circumstances, it can leave lasting emotional shock. Traumatic grief can make you feel disoriented, anxious, or numb—unable to make sense of what happened or find closure. Healing begins by acknowledging both the trauma and the grief, allowing space for safety, support, and gradual integration of your loss.
Ambiguous & Disenfranchised Grief: When the Loss Is Hard to Name
Not all grief is clear or recognized. You might grieve a loved one who’s still physically present but changed by illness, addiction, or memory loss. Or you may mourn a loss that others don’t fully understand—like the end of a friendship, a pet’s death, or a nontraditional relationship. These experiences deserve the same compassion and care as any other form of grief.
