There’s No “Right” Way to Grieve

Making space for sorrow, confusion, and healing in your own time.

Grief is not a straight line. It’s not five neat stages or a finish line you’re supposed to cross.

Grief is messy. It’s holy. It’s one of the most deeply human things we ever do—and it looks different for every single person.

You might feel numb one day and completely shattered the next. You might laugh at a memory, then cry without warning. You might feel angry, guilty, exhausted, or strangely peaceful—and then wonder if you’re “doing it wrong.”

Let me assure you: there is no wrong way to grieve.

🌱 Grief Takes Up Space—And That’s Okay

We live in a culture that tends to rush pain. We’re told to “stay strong,” “move on,” or “look on the bright side.” But grief doesn’t work that way.

When you’ve lost someone—or something—deeply meaningful, your whole world changes. Your body remembers. Your routines shift. Your relationships feel different. Your future suddenly looks unfamiliar.

Grief touches every corner of life. And sometimes, what you’re grieving isn’t a person, but a relationship, a dream, a home, or a sense of safety. It all matters.

🌱 What Grief Looks Like in Therapy

In therapy, you don’t have to filter your pain. You don’t have to “be okay.”

We create space for:

  • Naming the losses you’ve experienced—both tangible and invisible

  • Exploring complicated feelings like guilt, anger, or relief

  • Honoring your memories in meaningful, personal ways

  • Navigating how grief affects your relationships and daily life

  • Beginning to reconnect with hope, when you're ready

Grief is not something to get over. It’s something to tend, to honor, and eventually to carry in a way that feels lighter.

🌱 You Can Hold Grief and Still Move Forward

Moving forward doesn’t mean forgetting. It doesn’t mean the person—or the hope—you lost stops mattering.

It means learning how to live again, with a tender heart and a story that includes both sorrow and love.

It means discovering that grief, while painful, can also carve out space for deeper compassion, connection, and presence.

You are allowed to grieve at your own pace. Your sorrow is welcome here.
