Loss or Grief
Theresa Ewing
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Grief is real, profound, and disabling at times. It sneaks up on you and may feel hard to talk about with others. I get it. It's important to establish ways of incorporating your loved one in this new landcape, and talk about what makes sense (or doesnt) in this new world you're facing.

Strides in Psychotherapy
Psychologist, PSY.D.
When someone you loved dies, it can feel devastating, shocking, tremendously sad, or for some, it might even be a relief. People often have a wide range of feelings related to losing someone they love, including anger, denial, guilt, sadness, depression, emptiness, loneliness, and acceptance. If the person suffered a long time before they passed, their loved ones might also feel gratitude that the person is no longer in pain. Grief can impact your ability to take care of yourself and others—it can affect your sleep, your appetite, your memory, your concentration, your energy level, your motivation, etc.
