Understanding grief
Grief is a natural response to loss, but that doesn't make it easy. The death of a loved one, the end of a significant relationship, or other major losses can shake our sense of the world and our place in it.
While grief is universal, each person's experience is unique. Factors like the nature of the loss, your relationship with what was lost, and your own history all shape how grief unfolds for you.
Grief therapy offers evidence-based support for navigating loss. Many people find that working with a trained professional helps them process their grief in ways that feel meaningful and healing.
