Grief is the deep sadness and loss you feel when someone or something important to you is gone. This could be the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a major life change, or even a loss you didn’t expect. Grief doesn’t follow a set timeline—it comes and goes in waves, and it can affect your emotions, thoughts, body, and daily life.
It’s normal to feel overwhelmed, confused, or even numb during grief. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting—it means learning to live with your loss and find meaning again.
Common Experiences of Grief:
- Intense sadness or crying spells
- Anger, guilt, or regret
- Trouble sleeping or changes in appetite
- Feeling disconnected or numb
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Moments of peace mixed with waves of pain
How Therapy Can Help Grief
Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we support you in gently exploring and challenging painful thoughts that might keep you stuck—like self-blame or “I should be over this by now.” We also use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you accept your feelings without judgment and reconnect with your values, even when life feels uncertain.
Grief can feel isolating, but you don’t have to go through it alone. We’re here to walk with you as you find your way forward.
