Grief & Loss

Most people will experience loss at some point in their lives. 

 

Grief is a reaction to any form of loss - it may be the loss of a loved one through death, or involve a life change such as a job loss or divorce. 

 

Losing someone or something you love or care deeply about is very painful. Each experience of grief is unique, complex, and personal. You may experience all kinds of difficult emotions and it may feel like the pain and sadness you’re experiencing will never let up. These are normal reactions to a significant loss. But while there’s no right or wrong way to grieve, there are healthy ways to cope with the pain that, in time, can renew you and permit you to move on.

 

Bereavement and grief encompass a range of feelings from deep sadness to anger. The process of adapting to a significant loss can vary dramatically from one person to another. It often depends on a person’s background, beliefs, and relationship to what was lost.

 

Grief is often painful, but for some people, the emotions can become overwhelming. When a person’s grief is severe and unrelenting, a therapist can offer support. In time, a person can recover from their loss and adjust to a new life.
