Grief and Loss Counseling

Some common experiences of grief and loss.

When we fear our own grief, we can often stay stuck in the loss that we have experienced. Grief is something when experienced openly, can transform our lives. It can create deep meaning and purpose in our lives. When we are closed off to the grief process, we can lose all the gifts that come with it. Talking with a counselor about our grief, sadness, or loss can help us understand the complexities of our feelings. The added support of a counselor can help us walk through the complicated process and see the other side of loss.

Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life’s search for love and wisdom.
