The Invisible Struggle
The funeral is moved it feels like others have moved on but you are still in pain and feel isolated and disconnected
Hard to function
Grief can be sneaky, one minute you feel at peace or even relief and the next minute you hear a song, or receive an email, or smell a familiar smell and you are reminded of your pain and sorrow. These unexpected feelings hit you like a mack truck making it hard to breathe and function
A Mind that is Cruel
Your thoughts have become relentless critics, convincing you that you could have done something more or wondering "what if?"
Pretending to be ok
Nothing feels worse to be surrounded by people you love and yet you feel deeply alone. Well meaning people ask you if you how you are doing and you politely respond ok... but inside you are feeling like you are falling apart and can't even imagine ever feeling "ok" again.
How Grief Counseling Can Help You Find A Path Forward When You Can't See One

Individual or Family Grief Counseling
Grief Counseling isn’t linear but there are a lot of emotions like sadness, loss, relief, anger, hurt and even laughter and joy as you navigate your grief. Together, we'll explore sadness and loss and make space to share and move forward in life as you learn to live with your loss.
Using evidence-based approaches like Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), and Grief Therapy we'll work together to honor your loved one and develop practical coping strategies that work for your unique situation. You will never be able to "get over" your loss, but together we will help you rebuild, repair and learn to honor your grief.
