Grief & Bereavement Counseling

The hardest normal part of life…

Grief is, without question, one of the hardest parts of life. Unfortunately, it is also a normal part of life.

Have you lost someone who is so much more than just “close” to you? That person is a vital part of your life and part of who you are.

When we lose someone, we lose an essential part of our past… and a part that was supposed to be in our future.

When they’re part of what makes life worth living, it can feel impossible to imagine life without them.

Trying to be whole again…

Maybe you find yourself about to text them, or you want to tell them what just happened to you… but, of course, you can’t.

It’s not fair. It’s not right. And the pain is unbearable.

This is the hardest thing you’ve ever had to go through, yet it seems as if everyone else has moved on.

You can’t “get over it,” but I can help you get through it.

We both know talking about it won’t bring that person back. And I know nobody can ever truly understand the depth of your relationship and pain.

But I also know you can learn to continue living despite the crushing pain. You can continue living, not just existing. I can help you slowly find some peace and eventually find some joy again.

It won’t be easy, but it is possible.

Often when we’re dealing with grief, our grief is all we can see.

It’s like we’re wearing grief-colored glasses.

When we do finally think about something else, we immediately compare it to our grief and think, “What’s the point?”

I will help you make room for the other parts of your life while always honoring the one you lost. I will help you see that you don’t have to feel guilty if you smile or laugh.

I will help you remember how meaningful life is…

…especially within the context of your devastating loss.

Death is the hardest part of life. Death is a fact of life that affects everything we do. We can’t ignore it – and we shouldn’t ignore it.

We can learn to live with it. If you don’t deal with it, your loss will continue to consume you. If we do deal with it, I can help you eventually find yourself again.

This never means ‘moving on.’ It means moving through and moving forward.

Call me if you are ready to work through the pain.

In our initial call, you can start telling me about your struggle, and we can talk about whether I’m the right therapist for you.

It will be incredibly difficult, but it will be possible. I’m ready when you are.

It’s time to start on the road to healing. Give me a call today: 630.730.5123
