Grieving is a journey that we would rather not go on. It can be deregulating, frightening, and awful. We (and others around us) often have expectations about how it’s supposed to go and how long it is supposed to last. However, there are no rules for grief and everyone experiences it differently.
Navigating through grief can feel like finding one’s way around in the dark. Utilizing the support and help available can make the healing around grief easier, but no matter what, it is not an easy task. Depending on the individual it can take a little or a long time to navigate complex feelings and for a person to find their footing again.
Using a bio/psycho/social or spiritual philosophy or a combination of all, we can work together to discover the pathway to healing. We will move at a gentle pace and as we explore what has happened, what is happening now, what might be getting uncovered at this difficult time in life, and what is needed to eventually move forward.
