Grief, Loss, and Therapy: Finding Support in Healing

Grief is a natural response to losing someone or something meaningful, whether it’s the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a miscarriage, a job loss, or another major life change. Everyone experiences grief differently, and there is no “right” way to mourn.

Common experiences of grief include:

  • Deep sadness or emotional numbness

  • Anger, guilt, or confusion

  • Changes in sleep or appetite

  • Difficulty concentrating

  • Feeling isolated or disconnected

  • Waves of emotion that come and go unexpectedly

How Therapy Can Help

While grief is a normal process, it can sometimes feel overwhelming or prolonged. Therapy provides a compassionate, supportive space to:

  • Process and express emotions safely

  • Understand the stages and complexity of grief

  • Cope with changes in identity, roles, or daily life

  • Honor and remember the person or loss

  • Reconnect with life while carrying the memory of what was lost

Healing doesn’t mean forgetting - it means learning how to live with loss. Therapy can help you move through grief with support, patience, and care.
