Grief and loss are normal aspects of life yet the dominant culture in the US tends to avoid and segregate these experiences. It can be an extremely isolating experience for those going through it—whether loss is related to divorce, death of a loved one or a change in one’s capacity, health or life.
This is part of why grief sometimes becomes stuck and loss is harder to integrate.
Therapy allows space for you to have all of the feelings connected to your particular experience of grief, at your own pace. It is also a place that allows meaning to be integrated into your experience—again, in own time.
