South Orange County Grief Counseling

The loss of a loved one is always difficult. Parents, siblings, and even children sometimes leave our lives unexpectedly, inexplicably, and irreversibly. A death among your close family or friends is a tragedy, and no one should ever try to tell you otherwise. Sometimes loss occurs without death, such as when a child loses a parent to a difficult divorce or when a family member falls out of contact. I offer south Orange County grief counseling to help you through these losses.

Some losses, though painful, are easier to bear because they fit with our understanding of the world. The loss of an elderly grandparent is an example of such a loss. But when we experience a loss that doesn’t fit within the natural order, such as the loss of a child, it is devastating and creates long-term grief. Violent and accidental deaths also create long-term trauma and grief.

Sometimes, we experience multiple losses over a short period of time. At this point, individuals and families can experience profound or complicated grief. This grief is even more layered and can resemble a deep depression or post-traumatic stress disorder. Grief counseling can help with these things.

Not all losses are this severe. Loss occurs in many forms, and we often need to work through a process of grieving even when moving to a new home, breaking up with a significant other, or losing a beloved pet.

Grieving is an important process, and moving through the stages of mourning rather than being caught in a melancholic cycle is paramount to any level of recovery. With grief counseling I can assist you in this process.
