Grief and Loss
The pain of a loss can leave us feeling empty.
Losing someone we care about, regardless of the circumstances, can cause us to experience a pain we didn’t know existed.
At first, family and friends surrounded us and offered their support in many ways. They did their best to fill the void you were experiencing.
But eventually, time takes over, and we are left to navigate a future alone without the person we deeply care about.
People stop asking, but we don’t stop hurting. We can be as lost on the thirtieth day as on the first day.
The weight is ours alone to carry.
A thousand pounds of pain is too heavy to carry.
We look left and right, but no one is around to help. Therefore, we carry the heavy burden of our grief from the loss, which makes our whole body hurt.
Our heart is gone, and it feels like we’ve taken a hundred punches to our stomach.
The dizziness knocks us off our feet, making us stagger around without the ability to move forward. Therefore, collapsing to the floor is our only answer.
Eventually, that burden impacts us emotionally and physically, and there seems to be no solution.
“Why is everyone else moving on, and I can’t?”
“Everyone else is back to normal, but I’m stuck in this time warp.”
Overcoming loss is different for everyone, and for those who seem incapable of moving on, it looks like life stops.
Navigating the grieving process is not easy to do without help.
Healing is possible, and moving forward is achievable.
It is possible to overcome this intense emotional coma.
While the scar may still be visible, life can improve and feel more manageable.
Part of recovery involves talking, sharing your story, and releasing those captive feelings you’ve been storing inside.
Therapy will help with your healing.
The intense razor-sharp pain of the grief you feel when you think of the person can subside.
I use cognitive-based therapy techniques to walk with you as you work to lift the fog that is your grief and the meaning you give to the experience you are having.
Regardless of whether your grief is about past trauma from a previous relationship or the loss of the person you care deeply about, we will work together to heal that wound.
Embrace the calm.
Getting to a place where the thoughts are no longer attacking you is possible.
Reaching this place can help you leave any guilt behind, allowing the weight of your grief to be lifted.
I am here to help you carry that burden, fill those empty places with hope, and heal from the grief you feel.
