Grief and Loss

"My Dad died more than a year ago, but I still think about him and feel sad all the time. Shouldn't I be over this by now?" Losing someone we love - whether they have died, or left our life for other reasons - is a powerful force that can knock us off our feet. The grief we feel when someone dies or abandons us - regardless of how we felt about them - can feel like anger, sadness, guilt, or depression. We may feel isolated, terribly lonely, bereft, hopeless.

Although the first year after a loss is often the most difficult, we can continue to be surprised by waves of deep feeling. These can come when we least expect them: in the middle of a meeting, at work or during a family meal, or at more expected times, such as holidays or on the anniversary of our loved one's death. Deep feelings can also be triggered by hearing about someone else's death, by hearing a song that reminds you of the person you lost, or even when something good happens to you and you realize that the person you most want to tell is no longer available to you.

Therapy can help you accept your loss and work through grief that may be interfering with your ability to live your life in the present moment. It can also help transform unresolved losses from earlier in life into poignant reminders of how our human lives are passing and evanescent.
