Grief & Loss

Losing someone close to you, like a parent, child, spouse, relative, or friend can be a painful experience regardless of your age. And grief isn't just about losing someone close to you.
Regardless of your age, background, or cause of the grief you are experiencing – I can help you.

Grief, in its purest form, means to how you react to any loss. This includes losses less talked about and recognized, such as loss of a job, your “dream” of life, pet, miscarriage, relationships that are important to you, and more. Any loss can cause a lot of emotional pain.

Like fingerprints, each grief experience, including how we process and the length of time we grieve, is unique and variable even if the loss situation is similar.

While after a loss grief is to be expected, natural, and needed, many of us can find it challenging to recognize and process our grief. Even though everyone experiences grief in a unique way, there are different types of grief. Most grief begins as “normal” grief.

With adequate support, and over time, behaviors and feelings associated with “normal” grief tend to fade.

  • Tears, crying or sobbing
  • Changes in sleep pattern, such as: difficulty falling asleep or too little or too much sleep
  • Lack of energy
  • Feelings of: lethargy or apathy about the day or life in general
  • Changes in appetite: eating too little or too much, particularly junk foods
  • Withdrawl: from relationships and common social situations
  • Difficulty concentrating or focusing: on tasks and responsibilities, at work, personally, a hobby, etc.
  • Questioning: religious or spiritual beliefs, job or career choices, or life goals
  • Feelings of: anger, sadness, loneliness, depression, guilt, emptiness, etc. with decreased moments of happiness/joy

Some might experience complicated grief in which the common grief symptoms do not fade, can increase in severity, and impair living.

Several factors may complicate one's grief, including:

  • Delayed grief – postponement of grief process whether unconsciously, intentional, force or ‘necessity’
  • Disenfranchised grief – when one feels unable to openly acknowledge their loss because of real or imagined pressures or stigma from family or friends, cultural, religious, or spiritual communities, general society
  • Traumatic grief – when the loss experienced is unexpected or sudden or happens in a violent manner
  • Intensified irritation, anger, or episodes of rage
  • Inability to focus on anything but the loss
  • Intense focus on reminders of the loss or Excessive avoidance of reminders of the loss
  • Intense feelings of sadness, pain, detachment, sorrow, hopelessness, emptiness, low self-esteem, bitterness or longing for the deceased’s presence
  • Problems accepting the reality of the loss
  • Self-destructive behavior: such as increased or excessive alcohol or drug use, spending above your means, overly exerting/ committing yourself, increased self-criticalness or self-discouring, increased negative outlook, developing toxic relationships, etc.
  • Suicidal thoughts or actions (If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, call National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 or TrevorLifeline (LGBTQQ youth) at 1-866-488-7386
It is crucial to seek grief support regardless of your grief experience to ensure you move through the stages of grief in a way that is effective and meaningful to you.
