Grief and Loss
Did your family lose someone you love? A child? A miscarriage? A parent? A close friend? Are you unsure how life is supposed to continue without them? Are you afraid you will forget what they look like, smell like, sound like, even feel like?
Grief hurts. A lot. Often it can feel out of control. A popular phrase I have heard is: "I was just standing at the grocery store/school/
restaurant when all of the sudden I started crying, for no reason." One thing I want all of us to remember is it is never for no reason that we start crying. This is what makes grief so difficult though...it hits us when we least expect it. We prepare for the anniversaries, the holidays, and the birthdays to be hard, to be different. Sometimes we forget how much it hurts to miss the phone calls late at night after a bad day. Or the favorite restaurant hangout. Or the favorite song on the radio.
I want to be there for you and your family as you navigate this painful experience I call grief. I offer individual and family counseling.
