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.

Jane Allen
Psychologist, Master Counselling, BSc. Eng, MBA
Loss or Grief can be a very lonely experience. Others in your life may not know how to support you, may avoid you, or may say unintentionally hurtful things. Healing can come with sharing your grief with others. I have worked with clients who are experiencing painful losses and need to share them with someone who is non-judgmental and compassionate. I guide my clients to look for meaning in their painful experiences.

Ps. I Love You Psychotherapy | M. Caracciolo Professional Corporation
Registered Psychotherapist, HBEd, MA (Hons.), Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), C-DBT
Grief is LOVE with nowhere to go. Dealing with grief and loss, anger management, abuse, pet loss support, trauma, and addictions are some of life's greatest and most painful challenges. No amount of education or degrees can provide the same connection to another person, than experience! Having been through my fair share of grief and trauma from an early age is the reason I went into the field of psychology. I am a human being before a psychotherapist. My greatest teacher was pain and my greatest lesson was that love eventually heals all things; and time finds a way to make scars bearable. You learn to see them as memories marked forever on your skin. You learn to live imperfectly- after all, a perfect life does not exist.

Emmy Montemurro-Baxter
Registered Psychotherapist, MScEd, RP, RMFT
Loss and grief are an unavoidable part of life, yet can be quite devastating. Losing a loved one can leave one feeling overwhelmed, confused angry and may lead one to isolate. Grieving the loss of those we shared difficult relationships with can be unexpectedly more complicated.
Therapy can assist supporting you through the complex process of grieving. Although your life will not return to be exactly how it was before the loss, in therapy you can work toward developing resilience, tapping into your personal resources and find support in others as you heal and regain a sense of peace.

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.

Lori Schledewitz
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RP
A loss isn't easy; it can overwhelm and upend even the most stalwart lives. While we can try and plan for it, sudden or not, the pain and anguish felt by the finality of a heartfelt loss are resounding.
Our brains are socially driven, and the need for connection is biologically wired to ensure the survival of our species. Grief is a natural, visceral response experienced due to connective loss regardless of the circumstances - death, job, relationship, injury or illness.
I understand that the pain from the loss may never go away, but together we can work to develop a more compassionate relationship for managing grief. We will explore how to respond to your pain with kindness and move towards a rich and meaningful life despite the loss, reclaiming peace and fulfillment.
