Grief and Loss
A natural reaction to loss that can sometimes become prolonged or overwhelming and require professional help.
What is Grief?
Grief is a natural and healthy reaction to loss. A loss can be the death of a loved one, a breakup, losing one's health, or any life change that involves letting go. Grief is an individual experience — there is no right way to grieve.
When to seek help for grief?
Sometimes grief can become overwhelming or prolonged. Seek help if: - Grief doesn't ease after several months - You can't function in daily life - You have suicidal thoughts - You turn to substances to cope - You feel intense guilt or anger
How does therapy help with grief?
Therapy provides a safe space to process loss: - Identifying and expressing emotions - Processing memories and the relationship - Building a new life situation - Finding meaning after loss
Grief is not about "getting over it" — it's about learning to live with the loss.
