Grief & Loss on Branches Counseling

Branches Counseling, PLLC

Comprehensive Individual, Adolescent, Couples, and Family Therapy

As we begin to discuss aspects of grief and loss, let's be clear that neither grief nor loss are associated primarily with the death of a loved one, but more the loss of anything significant to us. This could be someone or something very tangible like a person, home, or a pet. It could be something less tangible like a job, a way of life, or a familiar routine. Whether tangible or not, the significance of the loss is only determinable by the person experiencing that loss, and the process to resolve and heal is uniquely theirs.

Grief, loss, and the processes are not associated with age, gender, ethnicity, sexual preference, education, socio-economic status, or time limits. We all grieve and grieve at the pace that is needed to heal.

We have all experienced significant loss at some point in our lives, and all have moved through the process at our own pace based on the level of attachment to the loss. Both grief and loss are individual processes with similar features or side effects that are noticeable among different people. However, these processes are worked through in significantly unique ways depending on the person, the person's need to spend more or less time in a specific stage of the cycle, or the person's need to repeat different stages of the cycle.

If you or someone you love needs a little help finding the way through the process, our staff is here to help.
