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

  • 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.
