Grief
help            hope            heart
Loss is an inevitable part of life, and grief is a natural part of the healing process. People commonly associate certain losses with strong feelings of grief. The reasons for grief are many, such as the loss of a loved one, the loss of health, or the letting go of a long-held dream. Dealing with a significant loss can be one of the most difficult times in a person's life.

Subtle or less obvious losses can also cause strong feelings of grief, even though those around you may not know the extent of your feelings. Feelings of loss are very personal and only you know what is significant to you.

The length of the grief process is different for everyone.

There is no predictable schedule for grief. Although it can be quite painful at times, the grief process cannot be rushed. It is important to be patient with yourself as you experience the feelings and your unique reactions to the loss. With time and support, things generally do get better. However, it is normal for significant dates, holidays, or other reminders to trigger feelings related to the loss.

I would be honored to help you walk through your time of loss without judgment. You don't have to be alone in this.
