First of all, YOU ARE DOING THE BEST YOU CAN! There is no right or wrong way to grieve…..it is an individual journey.
If you are reading this, we are empathetic to your loss that brought you to our page. Unfortunately, grief is complicated and each of us grieves differently which is OKAY! Did you know that it is perfectly normal for you to not be “okay”? Contrary to many beliefs, there is not a set of stages we go through to “complete” our grieving process either. Our approach to grief counseling is raw and real because that is how grief is. We guide and lead you through your journey of finding the new you after a loss, how to cope with the grief, and how to process the thoughts and emotions with your loss. Talking about your loss to someone who is not emotionally attached is helpful because it is difficult to freely express grief to your loved ones who are grieving with you. Counseling is a comfortable, safe place to express and purge all of your thoughts and emotions surrounding the loss of your loved one. All grief hurts. Grief from homicide and suicide are more complex and have other variables we assist you in working through and understanding. No one has a right to tell you how to grieve or that you are doing it wrong. Unfortunately, mourners hear how they are not doing well with the loss too often from those who do not understand or want the mourner to hurry and be “back to their old self”. Regardless of what challenges you are being faced with, we are here to assist, listen, facilitate, and teach you through this difficult time in your life.
