Grief and Loss
How Do You Go On From Here?
Someone you love is gone: your spouse, your child, your parent, another family member, or a close friend.
Or circumstances beyond your control took away the physical abilities behind the activities you loved.
The garden, the long walks and the pastimes that made you feel like yourself are out of reach now.
All you want is to stop hurting.
The Questions That Keep You Up at Night
How will I go on without them, or without the life my body used to allow?
Will I ever be able to cope?
Will life go on?
Give Your Grief the Time It Asks For
I understand.
Right now, the hole in your heart feels like the whole of you.
You want the hole to get smaller, even though you know it will never go away.
There is no hurry.
Let Me Listen Deeply to Your Grief
Using a client-centered approach, I’ll meet you where you are.
You lead the conversation, while I listen closely to everything you’ve lost.
You’ll always ache for what’s gone.
I’ll help you make that ache manageable.
Build the Skills to Make It Through
Early on, I’ll teach you practical skills, starting with how to answer yourself when those questions come back at night.
Then we’ll go deeper, one layer at a time, like peeling an onion.
Between sessions, you’ll try small, real steps, like doing one thing on your own this week, even if it’s just a movie.
And when you come back, bring one good thing from your week, however small.
Let the Hole in Your Heart Grow Smaller
Over time, the hole in your heart gets smaller.
Your life fills in around it again, with new things to enjoy that fit the body and the days you have now.
Remembering what you’ve lost starts to bring a smile along with the ache.
Life goes on, and you’ll live it with more of a sense of peace.
