Loss or Grief
Katherine Paul
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Grief and loss can be extremely isolating. As a society we are not taught how to talk about grief collectively. My role is to meet you wherever you are in your process.

Loss or Grief
Brian Swope
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Loss and grief is a greater concern with the pandemic response limiting the way people used to grieve - together, not alone, and sometimes with the person prior to their passing. Grief work is a place to explore your feelings, the things that weren't said, the regrets that remain, to help move through the grief process.

Loss or Grief
Jason Hutchings
Psychologist, PsyD
Grief is a massive reality check in life. It delivers us a message that, often, we are not ready or willing to hear. We can unlock the power of what grief has to offer while processing the difficult journey we all experience when life takes turns we do not want or expect.

Loss or Grief
Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
Loss is inevitable. We all die and we all lose people, relationships, and states of being that we once loved. If we open ourselves to live an authentic, honest, interdependent life, we are sure to experience loss and grief. Many of us fear it so much that we develop a multitude of ways to avoid it, strike a connection balance that we believe will help us protect ourselves later (yet that often robs our joy in the meantime), and use substances or other numbing techniques to help us avoid the complicated process of grief. I believe we can all benefit from learning to appreciate that loss is inevitable, and to learn to grieve in a way that enables us to move forward with compassion and fulfillment.

Loss or Grief
Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Not all grief comes with a funeral.
Maybe you're grieving a person who’s still alive. A marriage that looked perfect but left you shattered. A family that doesn’t believe your side. A version of yourself that no longer exists. This is grief—and it’s real, even if no one around you understands it.
I specialize in helping high-functioning women navigate complex grief, especially the kind that comes from narcissistic relationships, toxic family dynamics, divorce, and the slow erosion of your identity. This is called disenfranchised grief—a deep, invisible pain that doesn’t get the casseroles or sympathy cards but hurts just as much, if not more.
You might be asking:
“Why do I feel so heartbroken when I’m the one who left?”
“Why can’t I move on—wasn’t this supposed to be freedom?”
“Why am I mourning someone who was emotionally abusive?”
“How do I grieve the life I thought I’d have?”
“Why does everything feel numb, heavy, or meaningless?”
You don’t need to rush this. Grief isn’t linear, and healing doesn’t happen on a schedule. There are no shortcuts when you’re grieving the loss of what could’ve been, what should have been, or who you had to be to survive it all.
🖤 I help women grieving:
Divorce or separation from a narcissistic or toxic partner
The slow emotional death of a long-term relationship
The loss of identity in motherhood or midlife
Estrangement from abusive or emotionally unavailable family
The impact of trauma, chronic illness, or caretaking burnout
A “normal” life that never actually existed
I’m Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver, a licensed psychologist with over 25 years of experience, and I provide both therapy and life coaching for women navigating grief that doesn’t fit the traditional mold. As the host of The Mama Shrink Podcast, I speak openly about what grief really looks like—especially when it comes from hidden wounds like narcissistic abuse, abandonment, or the loss of self.
💼 My support includes:
Grief Therapy (in Psypact states) for deep emotional processing
1:1 Coaching + Intensives for high-functioning women in California, New York, and across the U.S.
Voxer Coaching for real-time support on the hard days
The Mama Shrink Podcast – A safe space to feel seen, validated, and supported
Burnout + Emotional Recovery Coaching when grief and anxiety overlap
We’ll work together to:
Name and normalize your grief—no matter what caused it
Stop shaming yourself for “not being over it yet”
Understand the connection between trauma, loss, and emotional exhaustion
Process both clean grief and complicated grief (when there’s abuse, betrayal, or unresolved trauma)
Rebuild your life—not by pretending it didn’t hurt, but by honoring what you’ve lived through
📍 Available for therapy in Psypact states
📍 Private coaching for grief recovery in New York, California, and nationwide
🎙️ Listen to The Mama Shrink Podcast for guidance on grief, healing, and reclaiming your life
This is sacred work. And it takes time.
Don’t fall for quick fixes or one-size-fits-all healing. Let’s walk through this together—with wisdom, warmth, and space to breathe.
You can still create a beautiful life, even after unimaginable loss. Let’s begin.
