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.
