Grief & Loss
Grief can be sad, angry, numb, relieving, disorienting—or all of those before lunch.
Understanding what brings you in
Loss rarely stays in one part of life.
A death, breakup, health change, lost role, move, or future that did not happen can affect routines, identity, relationships, energy, and what the world feels like now.
Therapy gives grief somewhere to exist without asking you to make it tidy, inspirational, or finished on somebody else’s schedule.
Experiences and concerns
Grief may bring
Emotions that change quickly or seem contradictory
Numbness or the feeling that the loss is not fully real
Anger, guilt, relief, longing, or regret
Difficulty concentrating on ordinary responsibilities
Feeling out of sync with how other people expect you to be doing
Questions about identity, meaning, or what happens next
How counseling may help
There is no prize for grieving correctly.
Avery may help you talk about the loss itself, the life around it, and the changes that other people may not see.
The work can include memory, anger, uncertainty, practical adjustment, relationships, and the question of how to keep living without pretending the loss no longer matters.
