Grief Doesn't Follow a Timeline — And That's Okay
Grief isn't a problem to fix or a checklist to complete. It's the natural response to loss — and it looks different for everyone.
You might feel:
Deep sadness that comes in waves, sometimes out of nowhere
Anger, guilt, or regret about what happened or what you didn't say
Numbness or disconnection, as if moving through life on autopilot
Exhaustion from carrying pain while trying to function normally
Loneliness, even when surrounded by people who care
Sometimes grief brings unexpected emotions — relief, confusion, even moments of laughter that make you feel guilty. All of these responses are normal.
Grief isn't linear. Some days feel lighter; others pull you back under. Therapy provides a safe space to honor your loss, process the pain, and find your way forward without rushing or forcing yourself to "move on."
Find Support, Meaning, and a Path Through Loss
Through compassionate and evidence-based care, we'll help you:
Process the complex emotions of grief with gentleness and without judgment
Understand your unique grief patterns and what you need in this season
Navigate guilt, regret, or unresolved feelings about the loss
Rebuild your sense of identity and purpose after loss
Find meaning and hope without minimizing your pain
Our work draws from Narrative Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy — helping you make sense of your story, honour what was lost, and take the next steps at your own pace.
Grief often intersects with anxiety and depression, especially when loss disrupts your sense of safety and stability. We address these challenges alongside your grief work.
Grief Takes Many Forms
You may be grieving:
The death of a loved one (sudden or anticipated)
Loss of a relationship (divorce, separation, estrangement)
Pregnancy loss or infertility
Loss of health, independence, or physical ability
Loss of identity (career, role, or life stage changes)
Loss of faith, community, or a vision for your future
All losses are valid. All grief deserves compassionate support.
For Clients Seeking Faith Integration
Finding God's Presence in Grief
Many clients find that grief brings spiritual questions — Where is God in this? Why did this happen? Will I ever feel whole again?
If you wish, we can integrate your Christian faith into grief therapy through prayer, scripture reflection, and exploring loss through a lens of hope, lament, and resurrection.
Faith integration is always optional and guided by your comfort level — we honour all backgrounds and perspectives.
You'll begin with a free 15-minute consultation to see if this feels like the right fit. In your first session, we'll take time to understand your loss, what feels hardest right now, and what kind of support would be most helpful.
From there, we'll move at your pace — creating space for both the pain and the healing, without rushing you toward resolution before you're ready.
