Understanding grief
Grief is a natural response to loss. While most often associated with the death of a loved one, grief can also follow other significant losses — the end of a relationship, a job, health, or a way of life.
There is no "right" way to grieve. Some people feel intense emotions immediately, while others feel numb. Grief can come in waves, sometimes catching you off guard months or years after a loss.
Working with a grief-informed therapist can provide support during this difficult time, helping you process your loss and find a path forward that honors what you've experienced.
