This loss is hitting me so hard, what do I do next?
I hear you. Grief is awful. It is also an unavoidable part of the human experience. You may be feeling angry, sad, numb, relieved, or just be having trouble sleeping or accepting that this person is no longer alive. You may be wondering if you are “grieving right” or be annoyed that people are saying “well, at least X” or “have you tried Y?” You may be feeling lonely without this person in your life and wondering why people have pulled away from you rather than come closer to support you. Grief is so hard, and the feelings can be complicated, messy, and intense.
As someone who has loved and lost, I am here to listen. I will help you develop coping strategies, ways to take care of yourself, and language for asking for what you need and setting boundaries during such a vulnerable time. I will also encourage you to try to figure out ways to tap into your feelings. Grief has its own timeline, and it often hits us when we least expect it. I am here to listen and validate your feelings and help you to pick yourself back up as you are ready.
