Grief and Loss Therapy
Grief therapy does not aim to erase pain. Instead, I offer support as you learn how to live with loss in a way that honors your love, your memories, and your life moving forward.
Grief and loss therapy can help you process the pain of losing a loved one, whether through death, illness, or anticipatory grief. Anticipatory grief can begin before a loss occurs, which is common for individuals and families navigating cancer or serious illness.
Support for Grief, Loss, and Anticipatory Grief
Help With the Practical Questions After Loss
Alongside the emotional weight of loss, there can also be overwhelming practical questions around wills, inheritance, bills, insurance, family responsibilities, end-of-life planning, and what comes next. These logistical pieces can feel impossible to face when you are already grieving, but they are often part of the reality families have to move through.
In caregiver therapy, I offer a supportive space to process what you are carrying emotionally while also making room for the real-life logistics of caring for someone with cancer.
In our work together, we may focus on:
Processing sadness, anger, guilt, numbness, or uncertainty
Understanding the emotional impact of loss
Navigating anticipatory grief during illness
Making space for Health Care Proxy (Power of attorney for healthcare), living wills, advance directives, inheritance, bills, insurance, and other practical concerns
Supporting difficult family conversations and end-of-life planning
Finding ways to reconnect with life after loss
Building support as you adjust to a new reality
Grief is not something you have to “get over.” Therapy can help you move through it with compassion, steadiness, and care.
With specialized experience in oncology social work, I offer support that addresses not just the emotional, but also the relational, spiritual, and existential aspects of your journey.
