GRIEF COUNSELING

This type of counseling is helpful in learning how to navigate grief. Our therapists are highly trained and have many years of experience working with grief and loss. They can help find meaning in the midst of suffering that feels like it will never end. 

Many of the symptoms of grief overlap with those of depression. There is sadness, and often the loss of interest in things you enjoy; changes in sleep patterns and loss of interest in eating or taking care of oneself. 

Symptoms of grief tend to decrease over time are are triggered by a loss, although they may be temporarily reactivated on anniversaries or when other reminders of a loss arise. 

People do not realize how long perfectly normal grief can last. The acute phase of grief can last weeks or months. Then you start to metabolize the pain and it becomes a part of who you are. It changes you in some way. It doesn’t go away but you learn to live with it. Eventually, you will feel like yourself again.
