Loss is Painful

You were living life the way you wanted, and suddenly you lost someone important to you. You always knew this day would come, but it’s way too soon. You’re overwhelmed by the grief of your loss and it feels worse because of all the little ways you’re reminded of it every single day. You didn’t realize how much it would affect you.

You feel so isolated in your grief because you don’t want to feel like a burden on your friends or a downer on the conversation, but the pain is burning you up inside. You know everyone grieves differently, but sometimes it feels like nobody else cares as much as you do.

You feel like this loss has somehow frozen your life in place. You can’t seem to move on and keep going like everyone else around you. You know it’s normal to feel grief after a loss, but this feels like something bigger. You know you can’t keep going like this, and you want to find help to deal with the pain of your loss so it doesn’t hurt so much.

Honor and Transform Your Grief

I help grieving people who are navigating the pain of a loss. Your grief is an expression of your love and care. We’ll honor your grief while helping you make your way forward again. 

My first goal is to help you feel calm and at ease. You’ll leave sessions feeling like your grief has been honored. You will have a space to talk about your loss, feel supported, and gently move toward healing. I am not here to fix your grief or simply to get you to move on. My focus is to integrate your loss so that you carry your cherished memories with you as you live the rest of your life. 

My process starts with helping you pay attention to what’s going on inside you. You’ll get better at checking in with yourself and noticing your feelings. You’ll also learn to sit with your emotions and manage your grief as it comes up. We’ll create new rituals and holiday traditions that help you honor your loss on significant days. 

Grief comes in waves that you’ll likely continue to experience. It doesn’t go away with healing, but it does transform into something more manageable. As we process your loss, you’ll become more settled and hopeful about your future.

You’ll leave therapy with several ideas of how to honor your loss throughout your life. You’ll have peace and be able to remember the good times without spiraling down into grieving. You’ll feel like your life has stabilized and you can remember your loss without falling apart.
