EXPERIENCED & COMPASSIONATE GRIEF THERAPY
FOR WESTPORT, CT & THE SURROUNDING AREAS

Grief is a completely normal human reaction in the face of loss. While most people associate grief with the death of a loved one or a beloved pet, there are all kinds of loss that can evoke grief. You can grieve a broken relationship, loss of mobility, a lost job, and anything else that means something to you. Like any emotion, grief does not follow one set pattern, even in the same person. You can experience crushing sadness, intense anger, and symptoms of anxiety - all as part of the grief process. 

The feelings associated with grief are normal, but they can be confusing and difficult to manage. Too often, people try to cope with their grief alone. This contributes to feelings of isolation, which further complicate your recovery. There is no reason that you have to deal with this process by yourself. An experienced grief counselor can help you manage your grief and adjust to your new normal. 

There are stages of grief, and each person handles it differently. However, if the grief you are experiencing is impacting your daily life, talking to a therapist can become a great resource. Grief also manifests in a range of thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. Some people prefer the company of others and sharing their feelings; others prefer to mourn alone.

• Grief is interfering with your daily activities
• There is a constant feeling of sadness & depression
• Grief is causing problems with existing relationships
• It is difficult to carry out your regular routine
