Grief & Bereavement Support Services
Support for healing through loss, at your own pace and in your own way.
Understanding Grief and Bereavement
Grief and bereavement are deeply human experiences that often feel overwhelming and difficult to navigate. Bereavement refers to the process of recovering from the death of a loved one, while grief is a broader emotional response to any form of significant loss.
Whether you’ve lost a family member, a close friend, a pet, or even a version of your life you once counted on, the emotions that follow can be intense and unpredictable. Grief may show up as sadness, anger, fear, or even guilt—and it can affect your body, mind, and social life in different ways.
Grief Looks Different for Everyone
The way we adapt to loss can vary widely. Factors like your personality, cultural background, faith, relationship to the person who passed, and previous experiences with loss all play a role in how grief unfolds.
There is no “right” way to grieve, and no timeline you must follow. But if your grief is making it difficult to function or move forward, talking with a therapist can help.

When to Seek Support
Everyone’s grieving process is different. You may feel capable of maintaining your routine after one loss but completely overwhelmed by another. Whatever your experience, you don’t have to go through it alone.
Grief counseling offers a compassionate, non-judgmental space to process your emotions, explore your unique grief journey, and find ways to begin healing. Many people find that working with a therapist helps them feel less isolated and more supported as they move through their loss.
