Grief is the response to losing something that mattered. Most often it follows the death of someone close, but people also grieve other significant losses — relationships that ended, identities they had to set down, futures they expected, family members who are still alive but no longer present in their lives, jobs, homes, health.

​

Each person's experience of grief is different. Some people feel it as waves that come and go. Others experience it as a more sustained weight. Some find that certain dates, places, or sensory cues bring strong feelings to the surface. There's no single right way to grieve, and the timeline varies widely from person to person.

​

Therapy for grief is a space to talk about your loss with someone trained to listen — to process what happened, what it meant, and what life looks like now. It's also a place to learn what supports you on harder days and to feel less alone in carrying something significant.​
