Grief and Loss Counseling in Frankfort, IN.

I have worked with many families who have gone through a time of grief and loss. Whether it is a death in the family or a divorce (which is commonly seen as a type of loss), I try to help individuals and families work through all the emotions that come along, from anger, sadness, and denial to feeling able to move forward in a new chapter in life. I also recommend support groups for all types of grief and loss - one of the best ways to heal is to be able to hear and relate to others who are in a similar situation.

Painful feelings of sadness, anger, guilt, helplessness and outrage are not uncommon when a person is grieving. These feelings are a natural healing process that draws on the resilience of the individual and family. It is beneficial to receive therapy when the experience affects the person’s daily functions at home, work and socially. The goal is to assist the client in identifying specific emotions, then find healthy coping strategies that will help the client move through the grief process effectively and resume normal functioning.

Loss of a relationship, job, an ability, a loved one, or even peace of mind due to a trauma are all examples of grief. When someone loses something or someone important to them, they often have feelings of sadness and difficulty functioning in life. If you are having difficulty interacting with friends and family or having difficulty finding the energy to get out of bed to face the day, talking with me about these feelings can help you to regain control of your life.

Everyone grieves over the loss of a loved one differently. Yet, there are stages that all human beings go through that brings challenges in life. But grief and loss is not always brought on by the death of loved one. Sometimes, life changes, such as a divorce, empty nest, a break up with a significant other may lead you into feelings of loss and deep discomfort.

I will help you navigate this life-altering thing step by step so that you can move forward and find joy again. Please reach out and continue in your journey of healing.

Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D approaches issues of grief & loss through the lens of innovation----instead of growing the same neural networks responsible for the pain in weekly therapy sessions, we reset the brain to move forward quicker and efficiently by working on the stuck limbic system so as to empower the person with more success and traction. For no one wants to stay in a grief mode for too long; but when you don’t include the brain in your work with someone, you risk describing the water to them while they drown and calling it success.

My approach to grief counseling involves understanding the five phases of grief and moving towards eventual acceptance. Learning to understand, cope with, express and accept ones feelings about a lost loved one is the goal of grief and loss therapy. I also help clients to find ways to come to some kind of resolution of the loss and its impact on his or her life.

Grief is not something to “get over”—its a tender, sacred journey. In our work together, you'll have a compassionate space to process your pain, honor what or who you've lost, and begin to feel more grounded and less alone. Clients often describe a sense of peace as we explore their grief, and many experience the quiet, steady presence of the Lord in new ways—reminding them they are held, known, and gently being restored, one step at a time. You don't have to navigate this season alone. Healing won't mean forgetting—it means discovering that even in sorrow, you are not forsaken, and that meaning, connection, and hope can still be found on the other side of loss.

Grief counseling helps people cope with grief and mourning following the loss of a loved one or due to major life changes that trigger feelings of grief (i.e. job loss or divorce). It provides a space for individuals to work through and process the complex emotions surrounding loss. Healthy grieving results in remembering the loss with a newfound sense of peace, rather than searing pain.
