Grief & Loss
When something you love is gone, and you are learning how to live with what has changed.
Grief is not something we simply “get over.” It can change how you experience yourself, your relationships, and the world around you. Whether you’re grieving a person, relationship, chapter of life, or future you imagined, there may be emotions and experiences that are difficult to put into words.You might notice yourself:
-
Feeling overwhelmed by sadness, longing, or emotional pain
-
Feeling numb, disconnected, or simply going through the motions
-
Experiencing unexpected waves of grief, even when you feel you're doing better
-
Carrying guilt, regret, anger, or unanswered questions
-
Feeling misunderstood or disconnected from those around you
-
Struggling to adjust to life changes or imagine a future different from what you expected
Grief doesn't follow a timeline, and there's no right way to experience loss. Whether you're grieving a loved one, a relationship, or the life you imagined, therapy can offer a space to process your emotions, honour what you've lost, and find your way forward without feeling pressured to move on.
Working with Grief & Loss in Therapy
Together, we can make sense of your grief, honour what has been lost, and explore how to carry that loss while gradually finding your way forward.
Create space to process your grief without having to rush the process
Explore the meaning of the loss and how it has changed you
Understand how grief may be affecting your body and nervous system
Develop ways of regulating your nervous system so you feel a bit more grounded and steady
Process difficult or traumatic aspects surrounding a loss
Grief is not about letting go of what you’ve lost, but learning how to carry it differently. Together, we can honour what mattered, stay connected to the people or experiences you hold close, and gradually create space to reconnect with yourself, others, and the possibility of a meaningful future.
