Therapy for Grief and Loss

Are you struggling with the effects of grief?

Right now, you may be experiencing:

 

  • Intense emotions of sadness, anger, guilt, or numbness related to your loss
  • Physical symptoms like fatigue, sleep disturbances, or changes in appetite
  • Difficulty accepting the reality of the loss
  • Disorientation as you adjust to a world fundamentally changed by your loss
  • Questioning of beliefs or assumptions about life that once provided comfort
  • Longing for the person, relationship, or situation that has been lost
  • Uncertainty about how to move forward while honoring what’s gone

You've started to recognize how grief is impacting your life:

  • Daily functioning may be affected as grief consumes emotional energy
  • Relationships might be strained as others expect you to “move on”
  • Your sense of identity and future plans have been disrupted by the loss
  • You may be avoiding places, activities, or conversations that trigger grief
  • Special dates or anniversaries intensify grief emotions
  • You question whether your grief response is “normal” or if something is wrong
  • The contrast between your internal experience and external expectations creates additional stress

You’re wondering…

  • Is the way I’m grieving normal, or should I be handling this differently?
  • How long will the most intense grief feelings last?
  • Will I ever feel joy or purpose again after this loss?
  • How do I honor my loss while still engaging with life?
  • What if people think I’m grieving too much or not enough?
  • Is it possible to maintain connection to what I’ve lost while moving forward?
  • How do I make meaning of this loss within my life story?

You’re longing for…

  • Understanding and validation of your unique grief experience.
  • Relief from the most overwhelming aspects of grief.
  • The ability to remember and honor your loss without being incapacitated by pain.
  • A way to make meaning of your loss and integrate it into your life.
  • Freedom to move forward without feeling you’re betraying what was lost.
  • Connection with others who understand and respect your grief journey.
  • Hope that you can eventually find joy and purpose while carrying your loss.

How we can help you.

At Evergreen Counseling, we understand that grief is a natural, necessary response to significant loss—whether that loss involves a death, the end of a relationship, health changes, or other major life transitions. Our trauma-informed approach recognizes that grief is highly individual, influenced by your relationship with what's been lost, your personal history, cultural background, and available support systems.

What you’re longing for is possible.
