Loss or Grief
Pattie Vargas
Counselor/Therapist, CBC®️Certified Provider, Kessler Certified Grief Educator
Experiencing the loss of a loved one can be the most isolating time in our lives. After the meal trains end, the services are over, and the thank-you's have all been sent, we are often left to suffer in silence, leading to guilt, depression, and recrimination. This is especially true when the death was sudden and/or centered around less than socially acceptable manners of death, and often those around us simply don't know what to say or how to be around us. When we work together, there is no judgment on what you are feeling or how you are "progressing." Instead, we just process the way things are today.

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
Danielle Farabaugh
Psychologist, Psy.D.
There are never any words to describe coping with loss and it changes everything around you. Grief can feel so heavy. I am here to help you carry that weight. I will be there with you to help navigate what feels hard to understand and figure out. Grief therapy is grounded in exploring your grief at your own pace—finding ways to honor your loss, understand your emotions, and slowly reconnect with life in meaningful ways.
