Grief touches everyone differently, bringing emotional and behavioral changes that can feel overwhelming at any stage of life. For many adults, grief can feel disorienting, stirring emotions that may seem uncontrollable or unfamiliar. While people often expect sadness or depression, grief can also show up in many other ways: anger, anxiety, relief, numbness, fear, irritation, resentment, restlessness, or even impatience. At its core, grief is love with nowhere to go—a reflection of the deep connection you had with the person you’ve lost. Therapy offers guidance and reassurance through this range of emotions, helping you process the reality of losing someone you love.
The grieving process is often described in five stages—Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance—yet most people do not move through them in order. Instead, grief is cyclical, returning in waves and often resurfacing unexpectedly. You may revisit certain stages, experience more than one at the same time, or notice emotions rise and fall around anniversaries, reminders, and life transitions. Whatever your path, grief counseling provides support and normalization for the emotions that arise.
Grief does not have a fixed timeline, and no two journeys are the same. Together, we’ll work gently and at your pace, helping you carry your loss while also finding hope, resilience, and a way to move toward healing.
