Grief is a natural emotional response.
Grief has many causes, including the death of a partner or someone close to you, diagnosis of a health condition that alters your life, divorce, loss of your job, or other life circumstances that create an upheaval or a sense of loss.
Mourning is part of the grieving process, and that process can create denial, painful feelings, anger, and depression. Some people even show physical responses to grief involving insomnia, loss of interest in self-care, and inability to eat.
Even our relationships and the things we enjoy can seem unimportant, making your life seem even emptier.
Grieving is painful, and it takes time to recover.
Processing the loss of what we once had is essential for healing. With therapy, your “BIG PAIN” eventually becomes “small, processed pain,” and this small pain is more bearable and less overwhelming.
Together, we can achieve the goal of helping you get beyond your grief. During your grieving process, you must allow yourself to experience the five stages of grief fully. These stages do not happen in a specific order, and you sometimes experience them simultaneously.
Denial can occur when your mind has not allowed you to take in the information of this loss as a protective mechanism. You can begin to bargain with your higher power or with yourself and others about this loss. Extreme anger or guilt can occur, leading you to feel depressed.
After some time and therapy, you can begin to accept this loss, and your hope can appear again.
Therapy can help you process your grief and accept your new reality.
Grief is a time of emotional intensity that turns your life upside down, and processing your grief takes time.
