Dealing with loss–grief is not linear

Loss During COVID-19

Are you dealing with loss?

None of us can predict loss or anticipate the profound effects that loss can have on our lives.

Grief is not linear, and there are no guidelines or rules on how to feel and deal with the loss of a loved one. It’s important not to judge your feelings at this time, and to allow yourself the room to feel and express your emotions in whichever healthy way speaks to you the most.

Being supported

It may seem difficult to obtain support during this time, as grief can make you feel isolated from the world around you. These feelings are normal and valid, however, there are still many ways you can allow the people you love into your life and receive the support you need.

Some actions you can take:

  • Attending a support group
  • Getting therapy for grief 
  • Walks with a friend
  • Writing to friends and family
  • Spending time with loved ones

It’s important to remember that you are not alone.

How can therapy help me?

Grieving can be frightening and lonely. It’s important to check in with yourself and your mental health. You may be struggling with painful feelings such as sadness, loneliness, guilt, anger, and irritability.

Therapy provides a gentle, accepting, and thoughtful presence that guides you towards healing and growth.

I can help you get through your grief, based on what works for you. Just like grief comes in many forms, so does healing. Together, we can create space and coping skills that will help ease the weight of your loss.
