Healing from grief and loss is a journey that's both deeply personal and universally human. It involves navigating through a sea of emotions, from sadness and anger to acceptance and, eventually, peace. It's important to remember that there's no right or wrong way to grieve, and the process isn't linear. Your feelings are a natural part of the process of grieving. In therapy, we can explore any existential concerns find new meaning and direction in the midst of loss. Additionally we can work towards finding tools that you need to cope, heal, and ultimately integrate the experience of loss into your life. You are not alone in this and I'm here to support you whenever you're ready.

Grief
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.

Grief
Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Grief and loss are deeply personal, and they are not limited to death. Loss can come through relationships, identity shifts, trauma, chronic illness, neurodivergent self-discovery, missed opportunities, or the painful reality that life did not unfold the way you hoped.
Grief can feel overwhelming, confusing, lonely, or like there is now an emptiness where something meaningful once was.
My approach is compassionate, honest, and grounded in helping you process that loss while also making space for meaning, healing, and regrowth. Together, we work to honor what matters, understand what your grief is asking of you, and slowly rebuild a life around that emptiness in ways that feel authentic, purposeful, and worthwhile.

Across the lifespan we all experience many smaller losses (e.g., leaving home; moving cities; choosing between career choices) and at times painful losses of people we love very much. Attending to your deep pain can help it ease.

Mariya Garnet
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist ( Qualifying)
Grief lives in the body as much as in the heart. When words feel too small, expressive arts and somatic practices create space for what you're carrying to find form and release. Through movement, sound, and creative expression, we honor your loss while gently supporting your nervous system through one of life's most challenging transitions. Grief, held within spiritual context and community, becomes a path to deeper meaning.

Mollie Pfendt
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist
· Welcoming Ontario-based Clients for Online Work ·
I offer a gentle, compassionate space where you can slow down and be with your grief in your own way and at your own pace.
From a Gestalt perspective, our work will center on your present-moment experience—bringing awareness to the thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations that arise as you move through loss. Grief is not something to fix or move past, but something to be met, felt, and honored. Together, we’ll make space for the many layers of your experience, including the complexities, contradictions, and unfinished feelings that often accompany grief.
If my approach resonates, I'd love for you to visit my website (molliepfendt.ca) to learn more or reach out to schedule a consultation call.
