There is no “right way” to grieve, and you don’t have to carry this pain alone.
Grief has no rules, and you never face it alone.
What grief feels like
Grief is unpredictable and appears in many ways.
- Deep sadness or longing
- Numbness or emotional shutdown
- Anger, guilt, or regret
- Difficulty sleeping or changes in appetite
- Trouble concentrating
- Fear of the future
- Feeling disconnected from others
- Relief mixed with pain
- “Waves” of emotion that come and go without warning
- Pressure to appear okay for others
- Feeling misunderstood or isolated
Types of loss we support
Grief can come from many places, including:
- Death of a loved one
- Loss of a relationship or friendship
- Loss of a pet or animal companion
- Divorce, separation, or breakup
- Miscarriage or reproductive loss
- Death or illness of a parent, partner, or child
- Loss of identity (job, role, independence, faith, community)
- Anticipatory grief before a loss
- Collective trauma or global grief
How therapy helps with grief
In therapy, you can:
- Share memories, pain, confusion, and questions, without judgment
- Express emotions you’ve been holding in for others’ comfort
- Work through guilt, regret, anger, or “unfinished conversations”
- Learn to navigate grief triggers and waves of emotion
- Process the trauma surrounding the loss (if present)
- Honor your connection to what or who was lost
- Rebuild routines, identity, and direction at your own pace
