Grief Counseling
Your grief is real and valid, let’s honor that.
After the death of a loved one your world stops moving. Your community may surround your for days or weeks following the death and then there’s the silence. The calls stop coming, the food stops passing through. People acknowledged the loss and now they’re ready to go on with their life, while your life has come to an abrupt stop.
You are not alone.
You may find yourself drifting through each day on autopilot, waiting for the fog to clear. Grief is not a well planned journey. There is no itinerary or timeline. Grief is a unique to the person given the relationship with the deceased, the cause of death, age, gender, and many other factors that make your grief journey unique to you and your loved one.
Your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are normal given what you’ve experienced.
It’s okay not to be okay. As someone who has experienced significant loss in my life and who knows the lifelong journey of grief I invite you to share your story while we find purpose and meaning during a hopeless time. Together we will honor wherever your grief flows with openness and compassion.
“Grief is like the ocean; it comes in waves ebbing and flowing. Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes it is overwhelming. All we can do is learn to swim."
