Grief and Loss Counseling in Gunbarrel, CO.

Grief can manifest from any number of situations such as the loss of a job, a divorce or separation, traumatic injury or illness, or the death of a child, spouse, or friend. My form of grief counseling is individualized because no two people grieve in the same way and there is no “right” or “wrong” way to grieve. You’ll receive support and understanding to help move through the process of accepting the loss, processing the pain, as well as adjusting to a new way of life, and reinvesting in this new reality so that joy in life can once again be experienced.

Grief can impact emotions, relationships, sleep, concentration, and a person’s sense of meaning. Counseling offers a supportive space to process loss at one’s own pace, without pressure to “move on.” Clients often experience relief from overwhelming emotions, greater clarity and self-understanding, and practical tools for coping day to day. Over time, many feel less alone, more grounded, and better able to re-engage with life and relationships while honoring what has been lost.

Grief is not linear. After loss, the sadness comes unexpectedly. It waxes and wanes on its own. The only way to be with it is to let it move through you.

I'm here to support you in being with the grief in a compassionate, kind way.

Connecting to our experiences of grief & loss means connecting to ourselves again. As people, a common experience we share is that of loss. Sometimes a loss is a death, or the end of a relationship. Other times it may be result from a change in a persons health, possessional or security loss, or dreams and desires. The impact of a loss resonates through various parts of our life. The impact my be our sleep, nutrition, motivation, mood, relationships, job, or even passions/hobbies. It can feel overwhelming to sort out all the feelings and experiences. Counseling gives you a space to safely unload your experiences, receive validation, and create steps to reconnect to yourself and your life.

Grief doesn't magically disappear at a certain point after a loved one's death.

One of the most powerful ways to address bereavement is to talk about your loss with a counselor. Lee Lester has specific training and experience working with individuals who have experienced a loss.

In grief and loss therapy, I work with you to honor and explore the stories that connect you to your loved one or the experience you have lost. Rather than seeing grief as something to “move on” from, we work to respect and integrate the relationship you hold with your memories, allowing them to have a place in your life. Together, we’ll re-author your story of loss to include your resilience, values, and the meaningful legacies that endure, helping you find ways to re-engage with life in a way that feels authentic to you.

Grief is a powerful and unique process. There are numerous examples of how grief and loss can show up in your life, but often grief is in response to a deep and profound loss that you have experienced. This can show up as losing your loved one; your spouse, your close friend, your colleague, your beloved pet, or it can be the loss of your job, your marriage, your relationship, your home, or some other aspect of your identity. Love, patience, and compassion are vital to your grief process. Being able to navigate your grief process on your own can be overwhelming and that is when it is helpful to have someone to work with to support you and help you heal by being a witness to your process.

Greif and loss are inevitable in life and there isn't a standard timetable or way in which we may find resolution. In some cases the goal isn't to resolve our grieving as much as learn to live with loss. I take an individual approach to living with grief and loss. We can use mindfulness techniques to be able to experience our pain in order to allow our emotions to be expressed.
