Grief is a natural and deeply personal response to loss. There is no right or wrong way to grieve, and the process is not linear. While grief is not a disorder, it can become overwhelming and lead to complications like depression. Therapy provides a safe, compassionate space to process your loss, honor your feelings, and navigate a path forward.
Common Symptoms or Things to Look Out For:
- Intense sorrow, pain, and rumination over the loss.
- Feelings of emptiness and longing.
- Anger, guilt, or blame related to the loss.
- Difficulty accepting the death.
- Social withdrawal or feeling disconnected from others.
- If symptoms are severe and persistent, it may indicate Complicated Grief or Major Depression.
