Loss or Grief
Katherine Rabinowitz
Licensed Psychoanalyst, LP, M.A., NCPsyA
Grief and loss are almost impossible to write about. You've lost someone or something. Perhaps a loved one, a relationship, a status in your chosen field, a lifestyle you once enjoyed. Most of the time the grief I see in patients who come to my office have lost someone who used to play a large part of their life. A family member. a close friend, someone you thought you'd spend the rest of your life with.
There's no timeline for grief. There are no set "stages" to have to pass through and check off the list. It takes as long as it takes to get through it. I once worked with someone who lost a dear friend to suicide. It was unthinkable, and the pain seemed too much to bear. After a certain point she felt she "should be over it." In fact some people even said that to her. No. You don't "just get over it." You grieve. There's a hole in your life that seems unfillable, and sometimes it is. But that doesn't mean you have to forget about it, or don't get to move on with the other parts of your life.
If it was a relationship, and the issue was someone bailed on you, ghosted you, cheated on you, wants to divorce you, that, too, needs a period of time to grieve the loss. In some cases reconciliation is possible, others not. Together we work on what's realistic, how to accept your loss, and to understand you are allowed to grieve as long as you need to.

Jenn Coonce
Licensed Psychoanalyst, Licensed Psychoanalyst, New York State
Grieving can be a difficult process, and experiencing a loss is a time when many people seek outside support. Often, friends and family struggle with supporting us through the difficult process of grieving, and a professional can offer the support you need. Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with the right therapist, you can learn how to cope with emotions that arise as a result of loss. By talking with someone you trust and feel comfortable with, you can work through the grieving process and how it may be impacting your life.

Judith Rapley
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Loss can be very painful. Because of this, grief and loss are often seen as disruptions to our lives. We work very hard at either avoiding them, rushing to get through them or feeing overcome or flooded by them. We work on making sense of these and understanding them better in our work together.
