Grief can feel dark, heavy or like a burden you just can’t escape.

Most people who start grief counseling feel the heavy weight of grief and loss. Perhaps you can relate. Maybe your days start to blur together or you maybe want to remember your loved one but it hurts too much when you think of them so you keep busy and avoid the memories.

Feeling trapped in grief, you may feel like every day is exhausting.

Signs it May be Time for Grief Counseling

Do any of the following symptoms of grief resonate with you?

  • You feel tired, numb or lost.

  • Ever since your loss, you feel like you’re walking through life in a fog.

  • You feel alone in your grief, even in a room full of people.

  • It’s hard to focus at work, invest in other relationships or fully engage in your life.

  • You’re afraid your memories of your loved one will start to fade.

  • You don’t know you how you’ll go on and face future holidays, family gatherings or other events.

  • It feels like a piece of you is missing.

  • Sometimes, you feel numb and other times you just want to scream or cry.

  • It’s been a long time, but you’re now realizing you never fully accepted the loss.

Everyone grieves differently. Truly, there is a huge range of “normal” when it comes to how people handle loss. These are just a few common reactions to grief that a bereavement therapist can help you work through.

“We run from grief because loss scares us, yet our hearts reach toward grief because the broken parts want to mend”

Coming to Grief Counseling Doesn’t Mean There’s Anything Wrong With You

If anything we’ve said so far resonates with you, please know that it’s ok to ask for help. Grief counseling, also called bereavement counseling, can help you through this difficult time. The truth is that anyone suffering a major loss could probably benefit from speaking to a therapist. But some of the things we’ve heard.

Many of our clients say it was hard to come in for counseling, that they felt like they weren’t sure it would even help. However, the truth is that grief is a unique experience. Even if others around you are grieving, their relationship with that person was different than yours and their own style of grieving may look very different from your own. This may leave you feeling completely alone. A therapist can listen to your story, provide you support, and encourage you to look toward the future.
