Grief
Sara Tawadros
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Div in Clinical Counselling
Loss and grief are natural and normal responses to the end of a relationship or the death of a loved one. Grief is a complex and personal experience, and everyone handles it differently. It is normal to feel a range of emotions, such as sadness, anger, guilt, and loneliness, after a loss. It is also common to experience physical symptoms, such as changes in appetite, difficulty sleeping, and fatigue. Grief can be a difficult and challenging experience, but it is an important part of the healing process. It is important to allow yourself to feel and express your emotions, and to take care of yourself during this time. It is also important to seek support from friends, family, or a mental health professional if you need it. Grief is a normal and natural part of life, and it is possible to find ways to cope with your loss and move forward in time.

Jonathan Snowball, Anxiety and Depression Psychotherapist in Ontario
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MA, MDiv
At some point in life, most people will experience loss and the grief that comes with it. Along with the grief will be feelings, varying from deep sadness to anger. Adapting to loss is different for each person and often depends on one’s relationship to what was lost.

Samuele Bariani
Registered Psychotherapist, MDiv, RP
Grief is painful and disorienting process, and it does not include only the death of a loved one. During our lifetime, we can experience the loss of relationships, a job, a pet, a personal dream or a version of ourselves. Also, because every person is unique and carry a different life story, there is not the right timeline for grief and no single way to move through it. We also do not need to carry our pain alone. Together, we can navigate the process of grief and explore ways to cope with your loss, while creating a safe space for you to experience and express emotions such as sadness, anger, yearning, fear, anxiety, or numbness.

Veronica Lowe
Registered Psychotherapist, MC, RP, CCC
By integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I help individuals navigate the waves of mourning without becoming lost in them. Rather than fighting the pain, I teach mindfulness and self-compassion techniques that allow clients to acknowledge their grief while slowly reconnecting with their personal values and finding meaningful ways to engage with life again.

Grief
Dr. Kim Edwards
Psychologist, C.Psych.
Grief is a normal and adaptive process, and as such, does not necessarily need treatment. However, some people feel that their feelings of grief are overwhelming. Others feel ‘stuck’ in their grief and would like to talk to someone. The focus of grief therapy is to help you to work through your feelings of grief, to feel supported, and to help you regain a sense of control, and move forward in your life in a way that feels appropriate to you.
Treatment length at MindFit depends on how a person is currently functioning, and how impairing feelings of grief are on daily activities. It may range from 6 to 16 sessions.
During treatment, members work with clincians on a number of strategies, which may include understanding the grief process and telling one’s grief story, identifying and modifying unhelpful thoughts or beliefs, carving out time to process the one’s feelings, becoming re-engaged in activities, relaxation and mindfulness strategies, assertive communication skills, self-compassion exercises, and/or identifying and working on one’s values. Our coaches can work with you on tasks that can help in the grieving process, such as writing about your grief, managing through ‘firsts,’ creating rituals or memories in honour of a loved one, etc.

Ryan Bittinger
Pre-Licensed Professional, Registered Psychotherapist (Q), DPsychotherapy, LPCC, CAS
Grief and loss have such wide reaching and long lasting effects on all of us. We can be left wondering why we didn't experess our feelings in the ways we were told to or expected to; wondering why the pain has lasted as long as it has; or we may have complicated thoughts and feelings towards those we've lost that make this grief complicated, or perhaps make it feel invisible. How ever you grief is ok - and together we can build an understanding of what grief work looks like for you, and how you can take the experiences you've had and the loved ones you've lost forward in a way that is meaningful to you. Death is not the only form of loss - loss of home, family support, of experiences and relationships we thought could continue are all painful losses that we can explore together.

Ariana N. Zeppieri-Makhan
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
I have a strong personal and professional interest in the pursuit of inner peace despite overwhelming despair. I've worked with individuals overcoming loss of others, self, and things in-between. I encourage clients to engage, disclose, emote, reflect, and forgive; remembering the lost, speaking with them, saying goodbye, or whatever else their particular healing process requires.

Melissa Huang
Registered Psychotherapist, (Qualifying), MA
Grief is love with nowhere to go, and there's no timeline, no right way, no "getting over it." Whether your loss is recent or years old, a person, a relationship, a health, or a future you'd imagined, the weight of it deserves space. Here you'll find a warm, nonjudgmental place to feel what you feel without being rushed or fixed, to make sense of a world that's changed, and to slowly carry your loss differently. The goal isn't to move on, it's to move forward with your grief, staying connected to what mattered while rebuilding a life that can hold both sorrow and joy. Together we'll work toward feeling more grounded, more supported, and more able to live fully again.

New Moon Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MACP, MSW, RSW, RP, RP(Q)
Grief is arguably the most painful experience we will ever experience. Yet within it's shadows there is a transformative power that can lead us to a place of healing and growth.
In our darkest moments, we discover the strength we never knew existed. We can learn to embrace vulnerability, to lean on others for support, and to find solace in the beauty of human connection.
Grief invites us to reflect on the preciousness of life and the fragility of our existence. It reminds us to cherish the moments we have and to cultivate gratitude for the love and connections we share. It compels us to reevaluate our priorities, to let go of what no longer serves us, and to embrace the opportunities for growth and transformation that arise from loss.
There are different forms of grief including:
- Loss of a loved one
- Anticipatory grief Eg. Loved ones experiencing chronic illness, Alzheimer's, etc.
- Ambiguous grief Eg. Disappearance of loved one, strained relationships, someone is physically present but emotionally absent
- Complicated grief Eg. Severe grief that persists or worsens over time
- Trauma related grief Eg. Grieving loss of safety or life that could have been
- Disenfranchised grief Eg. Grieving the loss of a socially unaccepted relationship/cause of death such as extramarital affair, ex-spouse, colleague, suicide loss, abuser, abortion, etc.
- Ecological grief Eg. Grief related to witnessing the destruction of ecosystems, the loss of biodiversity, or the impact of natural disasters.
- Collective grief Eg. Large scale loss such as natural disaster, a terrorist attack, or a pandemic.
Therapy provides a supportive and structured environment for individuals to navigate the intricate journey of grief. Here are several ways in which therapy can help people cope with grief:
Emotional Expression: Grief often brings a whirlwind of emotions, from sadness and anger to guilt and confusion. Therapy offers a safe space for individuals to express and process these emotions without judgment, fostering a sense of relief and understanding.
Validation and Normalization: Grief can make individuals feel isolated or as though their reactions are abnormal. Therapists help validate the complexity of grief, reassuring individuals that their feelings are a natural part of the process. This normalization can alleviate the burden of guilt or self-doubt.
Coping Strategies: Therapists can teach practical coping strategies to manage the intense emotions associated with grief. This may include mindfulness techniques, breathing exercises, or cognitive-behavioral strategies tailored to the individual's needs.
Understanding the Grieving Process: Grief is a unique and individual experience. Therapists educate individuals about the different stages of grief, helping them understand that healing is a gradual and non-linear process. This knowledge can provide a roadmap for the journey ahead.
Exploring Meaning and Purpose: Grief often prompts individuals to question the meaning of life and their own purpose. Therapists assist in exploring these existential concerns, helping individuals find new meaning and direction in the midst of loss.
Building Resilience: Therapy supports the development of resilience by helping individuals identify and strengthen their coping mechanisms. This process empowers individuals to adapt to the challenges of grief and ultimately move towards a place of greater emotional stability.
Navigating Life Transitions: Grief can bring significant life changes, and therapy provides a space to navigate these transitions. Whether it's adjusting to a new identity, redefining relationships, or making major life decisions, therapy can offer guidance and support.
Connection and Support: The therapeutic relationship itself can be a vital source of support. Having a compassionate and understanding professional to share the journey can mitigate feelings of loneliness and provide a secure foundation for healing.
In essence, therapy for grief is a personalized and holistic approach that addresses the emotional, psychological, and existential dimensions of loss. Through this process, individuals can find the support and tools they need to cope, heal, and ultimately integrate their experience of loss into their lives.
You don't have to carry this on your own. Our skilled therapists are here to help.

Although grief is a necessary reaction to losses of every sort, complicated grief occurs when one cannot adapt to their losses. The same is true for bereavement, which is the period of grief and mourning after experiencing a loss. Symptoms of complicated grief or bereavement can include extended periods of acute grief, extensive preoccupation with the loss, feelings of worthlessness, extended feeling or numbness or denial, changes in personal relationships, and engaging in self-destructive activities.
