Find meaningful, enduring connections to the loss that foster hope and healing.
Grief has a way of grabbing your heart and shaking it, reverberating deep within your bones.
Grief and Bereavement can often look and feel like:
Persistent sadness, tearfulness, numbness and shock
Unexplained triggers accompanied by irritability, anger, anxiety, stress and rumination
Guilt, shame and regret or feeling like a burden to others
Losing interest in activities that once brought you joy
Fatigue, sleep disturbances, headaches, digestive issues, body aches and other physical sensations and lifestyle changes
Lacking motivation, focus and healthy functioning across many aspects of your life
Self-inflicted isolation or feelings of loneliness in a crowded room
Avoiding people, places and things that remind you of what or who was lost
Grief is an all-encompassing emotion. Everything you do and every interaction with others feels different. Some days feel impossibly hard and unsteady, and it's difficult to find your steps or your words. The shifts within yourself and the world around you are profound and overwhelming.
Loss is a result of living and loving, and can take many forms, including death loss, divorce, breakups, estrangement, diagnosis and an endless variety of unmet expectations, unresolved issues and unfulfilled dreams. There's no structured way through it or timeline you can plan for. Grief shows up differently for everyone, but what we all have in common is that it must be witnessed through the intentional, yet unpredictable, experience of grieving.
There's meaning in the magnitude of your loss.
The honest truth is, while we can expect your grief to lessen in intensity over time and with intentional healing, it will never go away for good. We must work towards transforming your grief into something you can carry. We find ways to balance holding on (to what’s meaningful) with letting go so that you can move forward in life.
