Sharyn Rose
Therapist, MSW, MEd, ACCH
Loss is a profound and life-changing experience. Sometimes we need help to learn how (or allow ourselves) to grieve. A particular area of expertise of mine is that of helping a client through the loss of a pet.

Grieving is a highly individual experience; there’s no right or wrong way to grieve. How you grieve depends on many factors, including your personality and coping style, your life experience, your faith, and how significant the loss was to you.
Inevitably, the grieving process takes time. Healing happens gradually; it can’t be forced or hurried—and there is no “normal” timetable for grieving. Some people start to feel better in weeks or months. For others, the grieving process is measured in years. Whatever your grief experience, it’s important to be patient with yourself and allow the process to naturally unfold.

There is really no way to fully prepare for death; less so when loss is sudden and unexpected. Many people feel a range of emotions - and those emotions may change over time or even moment by moment: shock, confusion, anger, denial, relief, emptiness, deep sadness, loneliness, isolation, fatigue, just to name a few. Sometimes loss is missing someone dear to us, and sometimes loss is more complicated. There is no correct way to grieve. But we can look at the ways in which our own minds can increase our suffering so that we can learn to be with grief and loss in a way that allows fully honoring our experiences, as well as taking steps forward in your life in a way that is in line with your chosen values. I offer a safe place where is OK to feel your feelings, however messy or confusing. I also will be on your journey to help you find rituals for honoring your loss that are special to you and your unique relationship with who you have lost.

The cornerstone of good grief therapy is compassion, patience and an acknowledgement that the each person has their own unique pathway through the grief process. There is no one size fits all for grief.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.Ed MSW LICSW
Loss and grief can be all encompassing. Grief does not have a timeline or any particular presentation. It can manifest as deep sadness, physical pain, anger, loss of interest in previous activities, etc. It is my hope that we can work together and I can compassionately support you in your grieving journey.
