Grief and Loss Counseling in Polkton, NC.

Grief is experienced differently for every person. Therefore, it is important for me to understand the context around the loss and how the individual needs to experience the loss in order to move through it. I move at the pace of the client through this difficult process. We will give importance and remembrance to the loss and work through it together.

I have 40 years of experience in helping people deal with grief and loss. I see grieving as a potential growth experience that can be a catalyst for change in their lives. I use a family system approach to grieving. Which means I am able to help people adjust to the loss of loved ones and heal relationships, both present and past, that can be impacted by the loss.

When you lose someone you love, the pain might be excruciating and it may seem there is no one that understands your feelings. In grief and loss therapy, we will explore the stages of grief that are universal, and how they apply to your grieving process. The goal of grief therapy is to help you process your feelings, learn coping skills to deal with your loss and, eventually, experience acceptance and hope.

Surviving the loss of a loved one is very difficult. Pain usually gradually lessens over time and occurs in stages. Know that it often helps to process, get in touch with, and work through the array of emotions you may feel during this difficult time. It is important not to judge however you feel, but feel it and lean into the pain. Remember that facing it keeps us from getting stuck in it.
