Grief
What is grief?
Grief is a complex, painful, and difficult process. It can be defined as the pain and sorrow one goes through after a loss. Of course, this can be after the death of a loved one. But it can also include significant life transitions, including divorce, moving, a change in family structure, or the loss of a relationship.
How can therapy help?
Many people feel like they “should” grieve in a certain way. However, grief looks different for everyone. Finding self compassion and acceptance for what your specific process looks like is imperative in moving through the stages of grief. The five stages of grief are often talked about (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance), but people generally move through them in different orders and at times, concurrently. Working with a therapist provides a safe, supportive environment to work through the loss you have experienced, and explore how your worldview may have shifted due to this loss. This will offer hope for a brighter future.
