Grief and loss is a functional part of being human. While we all accept this reality we are all too often unprepared for the emotional impact of the event. The loss of anyone close to us is always difficult. Sometimes we are impacted by the loss of others whom we do not even know. The loss of a child, spouse or significant other is often the most painful. In therapy we will explore the level of grief and loss and help to minimize the pain while understanding and realizing our own needs. counseling will provide coping teaching tools, allowing us to move on with our lives.

Loss and grief are natural occurrences in life. However, they can be major intrusions in the quality of our life if we are too caught up in them. They can also interfere if we are so defended against them that they limit our ability to function or impair our daily interactions with others. Sometimes, what we have lost is not a person but a job or a situation in our life that has had great meaning for us, like our self-image. That can feel devastating. Just like losing a person, these events must be grieved if we are to be able to move on. Grieving doesn’t mean forgetting or being weak. It’s a sign of love and strength. Together, we can work through the grief so you can move on.

Confronting the pain of loss may feel too intense, but counseling can bring relief. How? Talking about your sadness, regrets, guilt, anger, etc., will help you release thoughts and feelings… slowly accept how the loss impacts your life… give the lost loved one a new place in your heart... and eventually adjust to your changed life and often-new self. You can re-discover the joy of life without forgetting what you have lost.

Many times we think of grieving as something we just do during the loss of a loved one. Of course, that's is a major source of grief. However, we can grieve many types of losses; job, marriage, a place called home. And, there is unresolved grief that can be passed on from one generation to the next. No matter what the source is of unresolved grief, it can prevent one from experiencing timely and legitimate sorrow and loss. And, instead of experiencing the sorrow, different emotions take their place; like anger, shame, guilt, etc., or destructive behaviors. Experiencing your grief in a safe place, with a safe person, can liberate you to fully enjoy your life and relationships

Loss in all its forms in an integral facet of life. Most of us have formed deep bonds with spouses, family, and friends, and grieving is both a testimony to the deep importance of those others to us, and part of a difficult, gradual process of letting go. Therapy work includes the honoring of either ended or failed relationships--deaths of many types--and also the grieving of we go through due to illness and aging.. A good therapist-patient relationship deals with numerous such painful "necessary losses", as well with successes in life.

I have personal experience with grief and loss. Grief and Loss can come in many forms: loss of family members, partners, animals, friends (either through death, separation, or displacement). I incorporate several techniques to heal and grow from these negative, but extremely valuable experiences. I believe amazing potential for growth and value of the world can come from death and loss, although this may not abe apparent during the lowest moments. I enquire into what has worked for the client in their own life and their own instincts into the healing process.

Grief is a natural process that sometimes takes guidance when we get lost in the grief process. Everyone's grief is unique and can be complicated when the last few months or years of the relationship were not healthy and were strained relationships. How can you repair them when the other person is gone? Compassionate and guided approaches can encourage the healing process. No one need stay in the state of perpetual loss and not fine release and peace and the courage to let go and find new meaning for their life. It is possible to make peace with the passed.

These feelings are authentic and are in your body, so you must feel them. If grief and loss felt and expressed at the time it is felt, it is healthy and appropriate. It is best, however, to try to live in the present and not dwell on the past or go in the future with feelings of hopelessness. Grief in children and adults are different and are treateddifferently.

Grief is a natural response to the loss of someone or something. Examples of loss include the death of a loved one, retirement, a child transitioning out of the house, financial loss or bankruptcy, loss of a physical attribute, a home foreclosure, or loss of a relationship. The more significant the loss, the more intense the grieving process can be. How you grieve depends on many factors including the nature of the loss, your coping mechanisms, your understanding of the grief and loss process, and your spiritual belief system. The important thing to remember is that healing from any loss can take time and the amount of time will vary from person to person.

Grief and loss can be overwhelming, confusing and debilitating. There are often overpowering feelings of sadness, fear, anxiety, guilt and anger as well as thoughts and stories that we tell ourselves and others tell us. Sometimes there are other people to support and many responsibilities beyond the work of grieving that seem to preclude the possibility of meeting our own needs for personal support. I work to provide a sense of clarity and self-connection in the journey of grief.

When you are experiencing emotional pain due to a loss, it feels very intense and like the pain will never go away. Many people tend to tense up against feeling this pain because it hurts too much, inadvertently causing it to hurt even more. I help guide you to gently let go of the resistance and allow the emotions to heal the grief, thus easing the pain. We often expect and/or want the grieving process to be over quickly. Often the loss triggers past losses as well, and this takes time and patience. I have found that there can be significant personal growth through the grieving process and if done with compassion, one can expect to choose life with a renewed purpose.

"Am I going crazy?" is a question people often ask me when they come in for loss, grief or bereavement therapy. "Everything is normal in grief," I respond. Why? Because there is no "right" way to grieve. Grief reactions can be all over the map - and different every hour. One moment we feel numb. Then we might sob uncontrollably. Or we might question ourselves about why we never cry. Everything in our life can seem out of whack & we beat ourselves up when we have trouble functioning. Sometimes no one is able to handle the depth and strength of our feelings and reactions. That's when it can be very helpful to visit an experienced grief therapist like myself for support in healing

I feel deep compassion for those in grief. It's the perfect time to reach out to a professional whether your pain is from loss of a loved one, job or break-up My best advice about mourning that has worked for so many is: to make your mourning your own. There is no right way to grieve and no "right" amount of time. People really do heal from talking so one of the most important things I'll do is listen and reflect back what I am hearing to shift your guilt or pain to help you into a more accepting place. I'll offer you hope and concrete action steps to help you get life moving. We'll create ways to feel connected to your loved one, or find the door opening to a better job or relationship.

The loss of a loved one or friend is one of the most profoundly devastating events that can occur in one’s life. When one is unable fully to work -through the grieving process in the first month and months that follow, the grief often can spread and exert effects over multiple spheres of living. Grief-work in psychotherapy goes deeper into the dynamics of the process and moves the individual toward letting-go and back into life.

As difficult a time like this is, it is helpful to find a safe place to process loss, its meaning and the impact it has on your life and the lives of those you care for and love. I believe children and adults process grief and loss differently, and that both need ways to express their grief, and choose their unique way to heal from it. I work with both children and adults, and tailor my approach to fit their unique needs and understanding of the loss.

Everyone experiences loss at some point in their lives. Grieving is a natural response to loss. Sometimes, though, a person's ability to grieve is thwarted by life stressors, resulting in feelings of guilt, confusion and depression. There is no right way to grieve, but it is important not to avoid it so you can begin your healing. If you have lost a significant other: a partner, parent, friend or pet, therapy is an safe place and an effective way to begin or continue your grieving process.

Death ends a life but not a relationship. Finding support for your sorrow and exploring the ways your loved one continues to be part of your life are equally important. Other kinds of losses -a break up, moving, losing or changing jobs - may trigger a period of limbo, disorientation or lack of direction. Together we can discover the intentions you hold going forward so that when new beginnings start to show up, you'll be ready.

I have been in practice for over four decades and have worked with hundreds of individuals as they deal with their anger, sadness, guilt, pain, loneliness, and despair. The good news is that we can recover and move on remembering the good along with grief of having to deal with an ending.

I am very mindful of the pain that clients are experiencing when they have lost a loved one, or are experiencing grief over upcoming loss of a person or of a dream that they have had for their life. The loss of a relationship produces feelings of grief that can be difficult to manage and work through. I help patients focus on the feelings that surround "grief": anger, denial, depression, guilt that they may be burdened by, etc. I help them develop new coping skills so they can move toward acceptance of the loss at the same time as they rebuild hope for themselves in this new reality without the person or relationship they have lost. Together with the client we redefine a hopeful future.

Without love, we would not suffer loss and we would not grieve. Grief is as normal to life as loving our parents, spouse, and children. Just as it takes time to grow a deep, mature, adult love, it takes time to resolve the grief over a significant loss. But in our post modern world, we want to deny and ignore grief. Our culture has abandoned all those rituals which helped our ancestors express and work through their griefs. Intense loss and deep grief usually bring up significant religious, spiritual, or existential questions that need to be grappled with and explored.

When we lose someone we love, the emotional and physical pain is very real. Studies show that grief and loss for many people are represented by real pain often in the area of the heart. This is where the term a "broken heart" originates. In many other countries when a person loses a loved one, they take several weeks away from work to process and handle the intense emotions from their loss. In the U.S. we are generally "allowed" 3 working days to "get over it!". Pain from the loss of a loved one takes time to heal.

Once rapport is established between the client and I, he/she is encouraged to tell me about their experience of loss, focusing on feelings that emerge as they are telling the story. When someone is blocked I suggest the emotions that may be present and nudge the client to feel those in the moment. The wide range of ambivalent emotions are normalized, leaving the client with a feeling of freedom and relief. My receipt of the client's feelings coupled with in-depth empathy and understanding helps the client to accept their own feelings without judgment.. Joy is returned to the client who has grieved, let go, and finally accepted the loss. Other relationships take on more depth and vitality!

Counseling those who experiencing significant loss means not putting a timeline on anyone's process of moving on. Rather, through my work leading Grief and Loss support groups at the Veterans Hospital, I've seen that each person's loss, grieving process, and combination of related emotions is special and unique in their difficulty. Our work together will help sit with, articulate, and effectively manage all aspects of coming to terms with significant transition or loss.

When a patient suffers a loss—whether from a death, divorce or falling out with a friend or relative — I lead them through a process, either individually or in a group, that helps them process the loss, accept it and let it go. The process includes drilling down into their psyche to find out what meanings they give to the loss. Often, they find that they believe they are being punished by God or that they have a cloud over their head that causes them to lose anyone they love. Then, I work with them to change that belief. I include a series of letters, memorials and written questions that helps them give up their depression and powerlessness caused by a loss.

When you lose a loved one, your job, your health, your house, your savings; it's always traumatic and life altering. Initially, you're in a state of shock, unable to think clearly or even feel anything. Denial might set in shortly afterward. As you move slowly through a myriade of consequences, as you have to cope with the loss' aftermath, you will need help to sort out a host of thoughts, feelings and confusion. You will need a guiding light to coach you through the rough times, through your tears and your hopes. That is when I can assist you, gently, competently and warmly, to navigate the waters of loss and come up with sensible solutions.

No matter if it is sudden or expected, losing a friend or loved one is a devastating experience. Often our friends and family don't know how to respond to our grief, so we can become isolated and feel trapped within our feelings. I can help you work through your grief by providing a safe and supportive environment to explore your full range of feelings that you have about your loss. I will assist you in figuring out coping mechanisms so that your natural grief does not become a deeper and more profound depression

There are many types of losses – death of a loved one; moving to another city or another country; loss of a job or retirement; Separations from loved ones; health, just to name a few. Loss of any kind is often accompanied by a piercing pain. But not always. Each of us has our own way of responding to loss – our unique window of tolerance for distress. For some, the overwhelm is expressed, for others it remains internalized. The healing occurs by sharing what you are feeling, and not carrying your loss on your own. Part of the healing involves holding on to that threat that connects you to your memory of how things were before your loss, and the creation of a new normal.

Grief and loss goes beyond bereavement. It can result from divorce, job loss, relocation, or family estrangement. The pain can just real, because these losses can be seen as the "death" of your long-cherished hopes and dreams. One way to view loss is as an opportunity to honor what you lost and take the memories into a new phase of your life. What you've lost can teach you to appreciate what you can gain in the future.

For those of you experiencing separation or loss, I am sorry for what you may be going through. I wish I could fix it and make the pain go away. Actually though, there is great value in experiencing these feelings and I am honored if you are reaching out and willing to face them. Good for you. Sadness, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance come with the territory and whatever you may be feeling is important. Please stay courageous and share. Help is here.

Losing a baby is the hardest challenge that any parent can face. There are no words to describe the grief and pain that follow. It is a loss that cannot be measured. Parents can feel utterly alone, wondering if they can survive as relatives and friends are encouraging them to move on. Anger can mount in trying to understand why. Grief and loss takes time to heal. I work with fathers who have lost a baby, had a still birth, termination, or lost a baby in neonatal care. Take the time to reach out for help. This is a difficult journey that takes time and is slow. The death of a baby is hard for many to understand. I encourage you to care for yourself and reach out for help.

I have worked with victims of trauma and abuse for over 15 years. I have been trained on many different methods to helping a client through their trauma so that they can begin living without PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) symptoms. Many people come to therapy because of the nightmares, trouble sleeping, having flashbacks, and having intimacy issues because they cannot let their guard down. For 10 years I worked using strictly a “person centered” approach to therapy. That means that I would let the survivor tell their story in their own way and not really guide them much. My main job was to make sure they felt safe and figured out ways to be safe. This process took a very long time, but it ....

Grieving cannot be done alone. All you can do by yourself is be sad and alone. This is not healing. Grieving is a process that has a beginning and an end and must include one other person who is understanding and compassionate. If you are tired of feeling like no one understands your loss on an emotional level, then you may wish to consider a visit with Thomas.

Faced with the death of a loved one is for most of us an emotional challenge filled with pain. Talking to another will help you process the many confusing thoughts and emotions which accompany grief. Grief never happens in a predictable way. Having a professional therapist help you through the "stages of grief" will enable you to understand the complexity of grief, offer you comfort, and give you hope for the future. The "grief process" can be overwhelming at times and knowing you have a skilled counselor to guide you through this journey will offer solace in a difficult time. Losing a loved one may change our lives forever, but eventually the pain can be transformed.
