Grief & Bereavement Counseling

Grief happens after losing someone or something important—a loved one, a relationship, a job,  home, or even your health. Grief brings many feelings, like sadness, anger, or confusion. Everyone’s grief looks different, and there’s no right or wrong way to feel. 

Grief affects how you function on a daily basis. It can affect your work and family relationships. Many grief symptoms also overlap with trauma—like tiredness, trouble sleeping, and feeling on edge. 

Humans can experience different catagories of grief: normal grief, anticipatory grief, complicated grief, disenfranchised grief, chronic grief, or cumulative grief. Your counselor will carefully assess you to identify what type of grief you may be experiencing and ensure you get the right care. 

Some common physical signs are:

• Feeling tired all the time
• Trouble sleeping or wanting to sleep more
• Changes in appetite
• Muscle tension or pain
• Headaches
• Upset stomach or nausea
• Heart racing or palpitations
• Getting sick more often.
