Loss or Grief
Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Leaving a narcissistic relationship involves a grief that most people around you won't understand — because you're grieving someone who is still alive, a relationship that may have never been what you thought it was, and a future you planned that no longer exists. This is disenfranchised grief: loss that society doesn't fully recognize or validate, which means you rarely get the support, acknowledgment, or space to mourn that you would receive after a more conventional loss. No one sends flowers. No one tells you to take time off work. Many people in your life may even question why you're grieving at all, especially if they witnessed how he treated you.
But the grief is real. There is grief for the years you invested. Grief for who you were before the relationship changed you. Grief for the family structure your children will no longer have. Grief for the partner you thought you had — who may never have truly existed. And often, grief layered with confusion because you're mourning someone who hurt you, which makes it feel illegitimate even to yourself.
I work with mothers navigating the complex, non-linear grief of leaving or healing from narcissistic and emotionally abusive relationships, using a framework that specifically honors disenfranchised grief as a real and significant loss. This includes the grief of a high-conflict divorce, the ambiguous loss of a relationship with someone who was never fully emotionally present, and the slow process of rebuilding identity after that loss. Grief in this context requires a therapist who understands the psychology of narcissistic relationships — not just general bereavement support.

Loss or Grief
Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
Grief can be disorienting—like you’ve suddenly found yourself in a place you no longer recognize. Maybe you lost someone irreplaceable, or perhaps you’re mourning dreams, relationships, or pieces of your identity. Whatever your loss, Dr. Jenny Shields creates a compassionate space to help driven professionals explore their grief openly, without judgment or pressure to “move on.” Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), existential perspectives, and mindfulness-based approaches, Dr. Shields gently guides you toward making sense of what feels senseless, honoring what you’ve lost, and reconnecting to what still matters deeply in your life.
