Grief
Karen Nadel
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Bereavement refers to the process of recovering from the death of a loved one, and grief is a reaction for any form of loss. Both encompass a wide range of emotions such as fear, anger and deep, deep sadness.
The process of adapting to a loss can dramatically change from person to person, depending on their background, beliefs, relationship to the person who’s passed, and other factors.
Common symptoms of grief can be physical, emotional or social.
A few common symptoms in these categories are:
Physical
Crying and sighing
Headaches
Loss of appetite
Difficulty sleeping
Weakness
Fatigue
Emotional
Feelings of sadness and yearning
Feelings of worry or anger
Feelings of frustration or guilt
Social
Feeling detached from others
Self-isolation from social contact
Behaving in ways that are not normal for you
Every grieving experience is different. A person may be able to continue their day-to-day routine after one loss, yet not be able to get out of bed after the loss of someone else. Whatever your personal symptoms are, grief and bereavement counseling have been proven to help.

Loss and Grief: Honoring the Unfinished Narrative
Integrating the Absence, Reclaiming the Self
Grief is not a task to be completed or a set of stages to be "checked off." It is a profound, systemic reorganization of your world. When we lose a loved one, a career, a dream, or a community, our attachment system goes into a state of high alarm. In my practice, I provide a courageous and sturdy space to carry the weight of your loss, helping you move from the initial shock and shut down toward a place of integrated healing.
The Multi-Layered Nature of Loss
Grief often impacts every part of our "system"—biological, psychological, and social. We work together to navigate:
The "Grief Fog": Addressing the cognitive overwhelm, memory lapses, and exhaustion that characterize the early months of loss.
Complicated & Disenfranchised Grief: Validating losses that society may not fully "see"—such as the loss of a pet, a divorce, or the "ambiguous loss" of a loved one still living but changed by illness or addiction.
Spiritual Deconstruction through Loss: Using my Master of Divinity to explore the profound "spiritual disillusionment" that often follows a tragic loss, providing a safe harbor for your anger, doubt, and questions of meaning.
A Systems-Rooted Path to Healing
With over 20 years of experience, I integrate specialized modalities to help you process your grief without being consumed by it:
EMDR for Traumatic Loss: If your loss was sudden, violent, or particularly distressing, we use EMDR to process the "stuck" images and sensations, allowing your nervous system to move out of a permanent state of "survival mode."
Attachment & Continuing Bonds: We use Attachment Theory to help you find healthy ways to maintain a "continuing bond" with what was lost, transforming a painful absence into a meaningful presence in your internal world.
Somatic Support: Grief lives in the body. We focus on regulating your nervous system to prevent burnout and ensure you stay within your Window of Tolerance as you navigate your deepest emotions.
Healers in Mourning
I have a specialized focus on therapists and pastors experiencing loss. When you are the "professional mourner" or the community’s source of strength, finding a space to be the one who is falling apart is difficult. I provide that confidential sanctuary where you can be a human in grief, rather than a leader in control.
