Allow us to be by your side on your grief journey
Because nobody should grieve alone
Experiencing the loss of a loved one can disrupt the very foundation of our lives, including not only the intensity of the emotional experience, but also a range of additional stressors. And while being bereaved is a challenging and painful experience, we believe that every person has the capacity and resiliency to adapt to loss over time. We draw on highly efficacious approaches in facilitating this process of adaptation, and are here to share in your experience and help to guide you along the way.
Individual Grief Therapy
Being bereaved is a challenging and painful experience, and although we believe that grief is the natural reaction to the loss of a loved one and a completely normative process, sometimes people might want to seek out additional support to help them process and make sense of their experience. In some cases, people might feel particularly stuck in their grief and not feel that they are progressing at all even after a good deal of time has passed- fortunately, specific types of therapy have been identified to help this group as well.
Regardless of the type of loss you have experienced, or where you are currently in your own process of adaptation, we hope that we are able to provide some helpful information and a sense of relief that what you are experiencing is normal, and that we are here as a resource to help you feel connected and supported.
Shared Grief Group
Shared Grief provides a space for men and women in their 20s to 40s to connect over their experience of loss of a parent, sibling, or partner. With a strong emphasis on building a sense of community, the group runs in four month cycles meeting every other week, and focuses on supporting members adaptation to loss through three pillars:
Normalization and acceptance of grief-related emotions
Maintaining connection to the person who has died
Restorative processing of members individual goals and aspirations.
