We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.
– Joseph Campbell
When life comes crashing down, and the walls are closing in…
We’re numb. The pain is overwhelming, and our heart feels broken; there will never be anything to smile about again.
Tears flow, and we feel like they’ll never stop. Our face feels swollen, and we can’t get out of bed, eat, and rest. Inside, we feel dead, and the pain is so deep that we would like to close our eyes and sleep – forever.
It doesn’t matter if it’s the death of a loved one or pet, the loss of a relationship, or learning that we or someone we treasure is terminally ill, etc. The result is the same; it’s pure agony and hurts like hell.
Often, we begin isolating ourselves from others, causing our loved ones to worry themselves sick. Unfortunately, we can’t talk with them because it hurts too much. Besides, they may also suffer, and we don’t want to burden them.
We have never felt so alone and empty!
But somewhere deep within, there’s a tiny ray of light, a faint voice reminding us that life is still worth living. But we’re so weak, causing us to wonder, “How can we hang on?”
Grief therapy offers a way forward.
Grief takes time to process, and each person deals with grief differently. Therefore, the path we follow and the supportive counseling I provide is for YOU alone. Some of the techniques I use include CBT and Mindfulness, which have proven successful in my long career.
Personal experience with grief also guides me as we work through your grief. As a fellow human being, I have dealt with grief. Therefore, know that you are not alone! I understand the pain you feel.
It’s time to start living again.
It won’t happen overnight, but slowly, you’ll find your way back one step at a time. You’ll start dreaming again and realize that life is not over.
The first step is to reach out by picking up the phone and calling me. Let me offer you a safe place to talk about the pain as we work together to help you find healing. My consultation is free, so you have nothing to lose.
