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
Shira Collings
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Grief can be tender, messy, and profoundly lonely. I offer a compassionate space to honor your loss—whether it’s recent or long ago, expected or sudden. Together, we make room for the pain, the love, and everything in between, moving at your own pace toward meaning and integration. I have specialized training as a Certified Miscarriage and Bereavement Doula that informs my therapy approach.

In most families with addiction, there has been much grief and loss - and even more so if the addict has died.

Loss or Grief
Julie Cochrane - Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Therapist
Hypnotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, RTT-T, Rewind Therapy Practitioner, Integration Coaching
Grief does not follow a timeline and there is no right way to feel. Sometimes what gets stuck is not the grief itself but a belief that formed inside the loss, things like guilt, the sense that we should have done more or the fear that to move forward is to leave the person behind. RTT works gently with these specific subconscious meanings, not to bypass the grieving but to free what has become frozen alongside it. I do not replace bereavement support or counselling. I work with people who have already been grieving for a while and feel that something underneath is keeping them stuck.
