Grief is the acute emotional pain that follows loss. While often associated with the death of a loved one, grief can also arise from the loss of a pet, a career, an important life role or emotionally significant possessions. Any loss that disrupts stability, identity or meaning can lead to grief.

Common symptoms of grief may include sadness, anger, numbness, changes in appetite, disrupted sleep and a reduced ability to enjoy activities that once felt fulfilling. These responses are natural but can feel overwhelming or isolating, especially when grief lingers or interferes with daily functioning.

Through care and understanding, therapy can be a space to help you process your loss and support a sense of peace while honoring the significance of what was lost.

Therapy offers a supportive space to process loss at an individual pace. Through care, understanding and connection, therapy can help reduce emotional burden, foster healing and support a sense of peace while honoring the significance of what was lost.
