Grief Counseling

Grief is Personal. You Don’t Have to Face It Alone.

Grief and bereavement are some of life’s most difficult emotional experiences. Bereavement refers to the process of adjusting to the death of a loved one, while grief is the emotional response to that loss—or any significant loss in your life.

Whether you’re mourning a loved one, a life transition, or an unexpected change, the feelings that come with loss can be overwhelming and unpredictable. You may feel sadness, anger, guilt, numbness—or all of them at once.

Your grief journey is unique, and there is no “right way” to grieve. Counseling offers a safe, non-judgmental space to process your emotions, understand your reactions, and begin to heal in your own time.

Common Symptoms of Grief

Grief can show up in many ways—physically, emotionally, and socially. Here are a few examples of what you may be experiencing:

Physical Symptoms

Frequent crying or sighing

Headaches or body tension

Difficulty sleeping or loss of appetite

Feeling tired or weak

Emotional Symptoms

Deep sadness and yearning

Anger, frustration, or guilt

Anxiety or emotional numbness

Social Symptoms

Withdrawing from others

Feeling detached or isolated

Acting unlike your usual self

Some people may function normally after one loss, but feel completely lost after another. There is no one-size-fits-all response to grief—and that’s okay.

How Grief Counseling Can Help

Grief counseling provides a supportive environment where you can:

Express your feelings without judgment

Understand the stages of grief and how they affect you

Develop coping strategies to manage day-to-day life

Honor your loss while moving toward emotional resilience

Whether your loss is recent or happened years ago, you don’t have to carry the weight alone.
