About grief
There is no right way to grieve
Grief can be sadness, but also anger, guilt, relief, numbness and exhaustion, sometimes all in the same day. It can follow a death, a miscarriage, a diagnosis, a divorce, a move, or the loss of the life you expected. Children and teens grieve in bursts, and it often shows up as behavior rather than words.
Counseling is not about getting over it. It is a place to say what you cannot say elsewhere, to make sense of what changed, and to find a way to carry the person or the loss with you while life continues.
When grief gets stuck, when months pass and daily life still feels impossible, therapy helps you get unstuck.
