Grief & Loss

Grief is not a one-size-fits-all experience—it can show up as sadness, anger, numbness, or even guilt. Whether you're grieving the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a major life change, or a part of your identity, it can feel overwhelming. Even life transitions like moving, changing jobs, or changes in your relationships can lead to huge feelings of grief. Grief is the loss of what you wanted or thought would happen, banishing your expectations and your plans. This creates chaos in our minds and bodies. With how unpredictable and difficult grief is, it is immensely helpful to have a sounding board to help navigate the complexities of your loss.
