How we experience grief can be influenced by our past experiences, how our family and friends and culture handle loss and bereavement, and what the loss means to us personally.

In American culture, grief can be especially hard – as a whole, we do not have a lot of language, tradition, and support around death.  There is a great deal of avoidance and discomfort around loss, which can leave grieving individuals to feel ashamed, lost, and like the world moved on without them or expects them to heal on a socially acceptable timeline.  It can leave individuals feeling completely alone in their pain.

Do you need grief counseling?

Bereavement therapy is counseling specifically focused on addressing grief, in which you are provided a space to explore and process feelings around the loss, mortality, and the implications of this experience for your life.  I can provide a space to hold the pain and heartache, as you work to integrate this loss into your life and find ways to cope and mend in the way that is right for you.  You are never alone in your grief.
