Do You Have Any Questions?
Some frequently asked questions for quick insight, or reach out to me directly with any specific inquiries you might have.
What is grief?
Grief is a response to loss. While many focus on the emotional aspect of grief, it’s worth noting that there are physical, social, and cognitive reactions as well.
How can I end my grief sooner?
There is no magic formula for ending grief. Grief will run its course. I’m here to help guide you through grieving in a productive way. There are techniques to help you recover and get back to your life.
What’s the difference between grief and mourning?
Many use the words interchangeably, but actually mourning is the outward, physical showing, or expression of grief. Grief is the internal pain that one feels, which can manifest in physical ways in our bodies as well, from weight loss or gain, to trouble sleeping or extreme fatigue and other expressions.
The world doesn’t seem to understand my pain. I feel so alone.
This is a very common feeling. Unfortunately, while your friends may want to help, those who have not experienced loss will struggle to truly empathize with you. Each loss is unique. It takes work and I’m here to help you work through your feelings.
