Grief and Loss

Grief is a heavy emotional pain wrapped around the heart.

Every moment you think about those that you lost causes you to have a piercing pain. Everywhere you look is a constant reminder of who is missing.

Grief makes so many feel like they are taking the grief path alone.

Grieving your loss can impact you physically and emotionally.

We all grieve differently.

Some people can continue with their life after a loss, while it takes others months or years to find a new normal.

Maybe you lost someone, a pet, or anything that meant much to you. You have never been the same since you lost that person or thing.

Each day, you live a life filled with sorrow, anger, denial, sadness, and guilt. The emotions do not seem to go away.

You thought you would be grieving less by now, but it feels like you just lost a unique, irreplaceable person.

Memories of the one you lost taunt you.

You feel constantly reminded of what can never be again – all the things you planned to do with that person you never got to do. All the things you wished you had said.

Your heart feels shattered like a delicate vase dropped on the floor.

Life now feels like a void that no one can seem to fill.

When things are not going well, you immediately miss the person or thing that you lost.

Loss comes in many forms.

Miscarriage: All the hopes and plans you had suddenly stopped – ending with a miscarriage, the pregnancy that will never be. Miscarriages, like any other loss, cause emotional pain.

Lost Relationship: So many people think about death when they hear the word grief, but you might be grieving a broken marriage. Maybe you’re still married but suffering what you used to have with your partner. You might be separated or divorced, have lost a friendship, or have a broken family.

Health: It could be that you have a loved one who is sick and can’t do what they used to do. Dementia may have made them lose their memory, or they are not able to get out of bed. It could be that the doctors have informed you that they are about to die. Perhaps you lost the person you used to be.

Whatever you lost, therapy can help you walk through the emotions and overcome them.
