Grief and Loss Counseling in Taylor Mill, KY.

Grief and loss are universal experiences; but when your heart is broken, friends and family may not know what to say. Each of us grieves in our unique way.... and a psychologist knows how to listen so you feel understood. Your numbness, anger, or overwhelming sadness are validated. You feel safe and supported in your own healing process..

Grief and depression are not the same thing, and it is important to understand the distinction between them. The overwhelming feeling of sadness associated with grief is a normal and important part of regaining balance after a loss. Depression more permanent and is experienced over an extended amount of time.

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.

Grief is our whole body's response to loss. Our body responds emotionally, spiritually, and mentally to all our losses. Dealing with grief is a "required course" in our lives. If we do not deal directly and meaningfully with our grief, then our lives are going to be diminished significantly. It is not true that "time heals all wounds". However, it is true that time--WITH DETERMINED FOCUS--heals most wounds. Don't wait for time to just "pass by" and end up even further behind. Call--let's do the grief work that honors those we have lost AND makes space for a future that has a smile.
