Grief & Loss

When you lose someone you love, everyday life can feel different in ways you weren’t expecting. You may reach for your phone to call them, want to tell them something, or find that a song or an ordinary Tuesday brings up more than you expected.

Sometimes you want to talk about them. Other times, you’re tired of answering questions about how you’re doing. You might be keeping up with work and taking care of everyone else while still having a hard time yourself.

There’s Room for All of It

Grief can include sadness, anger, guilt, relief, numbness, or feelings you don’t quite know how to describe. Your relationship may have been close, complicated, or a little of both.

Maybe your loss is recent. Maybe it’s been years, and you feel like people expect you to be okay by now. You don’t have to explain why it still matters.

How I Can Help

I’ll listen to what life has been like for you since the loss. We can talk about the person you miss, the memories you want to share, the things left unsaid, and what’s been hardest about getting through your days.

There’s room for practical things, too...handling holidays, responding to well-meaning comments, or figuring out what you need when people ask how they can help.

Having lost my mom unexpectedly and experienced other family losses, I know how much life can change. Your experience will be your own, and I want to understand what this loss means to you.

You won’t be expected to move on or stop talking about someone you love. We can work toward making room for life again while keeping your connection to them.

Other Kinds of Loss Matter, Too

Grief can also come with the end of a relationship, changes in your health, or a future that no longer looks the way you hoped it would. Those losses deserve care and attention, too.

If you’d like someone to talk to, you’re welcome to reach out. You don’t have to know what to say before we meet.
