Grief and loss will look different for each person, each experience and season of life. Understand, no matter what your experience, you are worthy to find healing, in your time. The five stages of grief are denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Each of these stages will present themselves very differently depending on your experience. As you gain other capacities in your healing journey, you could experience the same stage multiple times. Give yourself as much space and grace as you can.We want to remind you there is no timeline for grief.

Grief can get in the way of living in the present moment and making the best of it. The more adaptable we are to the constant changes that are sometimes out of control, the better we can accept and incorporate them in the present moment.

Grief isn’t a linear process and it can be brought on by range of life experiences - including but not just the loss of a loved one. To make it more complex, people experience grief and can be triggered very differently.

As therapists, we there a few reoccurring concerns that have come up from clients.

Grief is not a pathology or illness to be diagnosed—it’s a natural process that only the most fortunate of us never have to go through. Therefore, therapy isn’t about fixing or curing you—it’s about helping you work through the pain and getting your life back on track.
