Has Grief Left You Feeling Isolated And Overwhelmed?

Are you feeling a deep emptiness and isolation? Your loss may leave you with a void that feels impossible to fill, especially when others don’t seem to understand the depth of your connection and grief.

Do you find yourself weighed down by guilt and self-blame? You might be replaying every decision, wondering if something could have changed the outcome, and feeling trapped in a cycle of “what-ifs.”

Are you struggling with shock and disbelief? Loss can feel surreal, almost too painful to process, leaving you feeling numb or disconnected from the world around you.

Is the thought of future pregnancies filling you with fear? The idea of trying again may feel too overwhelming, with worries of experiencing the same pain making it difficult to feel secure or hopeful.

Are you physically recovering while also carrying emotional pain? Your body may still be healing, and each symptom can serve as a painful reminder of your loss, intensifying your grief.

Are reminders everywhere you turn, making it hard to escape the pain? Everyday moments—seeing a pregnant friend or scrolling through social media—might bring fresh waves of grief, making it difficult to feel grounded.

Is grief straining your relationships? Differences in how you and loved ones grieve may create misunderstandings and emotional distance, adding to feelings of isolation.

Are you mourning the loss of your identity as a parent-to-be? The dreams, milestones, and future plans you had may feel shattered, leaving you questioning your sense of self and purpose.

You Don’t Have To Carry Your Grief It Alone. Grief Therapy Can Help!

What You’re Feeling Is A Natural Response To Deep Loss

The overwhelming emotions—sadness, anger, guilt, disbelief—are all natural responses to pregnancy or infant loss. 

It’s normal to replay every moment, questioning "why" and wondering if things could have been different. These "what ifs" are part of the grieving process and can feel incredibly heavy.

Avoiding places or situations that remind you of your baby is a common way your mind tries to protect you.

Grief affects more than your emotions—it impacts your entire body. Feeling physically drained, disconnected, and exhausted is a normal reaction to the weight of your loss.

Struggling to focus on daily tasks or maintain your responsibilities is completely expected. Your mind is overwhelmed, and it’s difficult to concentrate on anything beyond your grief.

Everyone processes loss differently. There’s no “right” way to grieve, no set timeline for healing, and no rush. Your experience is deeply personal, and it’s okay to take the time you need.

Grief Support Is A Healthy, Natural Step Toward Healing

My Approach To Bereavement Counseling

Losing a pregnancy or infant is a profoundly personal experience that can leave you feeling isolated, overwhelmed, and emotionally drained. 

My approach to grief therapy is designed to offer the support and tools you need to heal, rediscover your sense of self, and move forward with renewed strength.

I understand that starting grief therapy can feel intimidating, and you might have questions like:

  • Can I take my time sharing my story because the pain still feels too raw?

  • Is it okay to laugh or express emotions like anger, jealousy, or rage?

  • Will we talk about other areas of my life, including the positive parts?

The answer is yes to all these questions. Every part of your life is welcome here and we will go at your pace!

How Can Grief Counseling Help?

  • Unpack the Emotional Weight: We’ll dive into the complex emotions grief brings—guilt, sadness, anger, and confusion. As your grief therapist will help you regain a sense of control over your thoughts and feelings.

  • Process Grief in a Safe Space: Whether it’s the loss of a child, a dream, or your sense of normalcy. Grief and loss counseling is a safe space to express and process your emotions without judgment.

  • Manage Anxiety and Stress: Grief heightens anxiety making your world feel unsteady and unsafe. We will learn ways to help you feel secure and grounded. 

  • Navigate Emotional Overload: Using trauma-informed approaches, we’ll help you work through intense feelings of shock, anger, or despair, giving you tools to manage emotional overload in healthier ways.

  • Strengthen Relationships: Grief can cause isolation or strain your relationships. We’ll focus on improving communication with those close to you, helping you express your needs and rebuild connections.

  • Empower Your Healing Journey: We will discover ways to memorialize your child and if you wish incorporate your spiritual or religious beliefs into your healing process.

    Grief isn’t linear, as your grief counselor, I’ll be with you every step of the way, ensuring that you’re supported as you move through each stage at your own pace.

You May Still Have Some Questions About Grief Therapy

  • Everyone processes grief differently, but here are some signs that you might benefit from therapy:

    • You’re dealing with intense or ongoing emotional or physical symptoms like sadness, anger, guilt, anxiety, fatigue, sleep issues, or loss of appetite.

    • You feel stuck or overwhelmed by grief and are struggling to cope after a miscarriage, abortion, pregnancy, or infant loss.

    • You’ve experienced multiple miscarriages in a short time, making it harder to process the grief.

    • Your grief is affecting your daily life—work, relationships, or personal responsibilities.

    • You feel isolated or unsupported and need a safe space to express your feelings and explore coping strategies.

    If any of this resonates, online grief therapy can help you manage your emotions and move forward in your healing journey.

  • I offer grief counseling for individuals who have experienced pregnancy loss for any reason. Support after any pregnancy loss is essential.

    All loss is welcome here!

    My goal is to provide a compassionate, judgment-free space where you can process your grief and emotions openly and safely.

  • The length of grief counseling depends on several factors, including the intensity of your loss, how you cope, and how often you attend therapy.

    Some people may feel relief after just a few sessions, while others may benefit from longer-term support.

    Grief doesn’t follow a set timeline, and healing takes time. Therapy is tailored to your specific needs and goals, so we’ll focus on what works best for you, whether that’s short-term guidance or ongoing support.
