Grief & Loss

Finding Yourself Again After Loss, Even When It Feels Like Everything Has Changed

Grief doesn’t always arrive with tears. Sometimes it shows up as anxiety, numbness, irritability, or exhaustion. It can feel like a fog, a heavy weight in the body, or a quiet ache that lingers long after others expect you to have “moved on.”

Whether you’re grieving the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a sense of identity, or the life you thought you’d have, you are not alone in your experience, and you don’t have to navigate it alone either.

“Grief is just love with nowhere to go.” — Jamie Anderson

Common Experiences I Hear From Clients

  • “I feel disconnected from the world around me — like I’m here, but not really here.”
  • “I don’t know how to move forward, but I can’t go back either.”
  • “I’m still grieving, even though it’s been a long time.”
  • “I thought I was okay, and then it hit me out of nowhere.”
  • “I feel anxious all the time, like something bad is always just around the corner.”

How I Can Help

Grief is deeply personal. It has no fixed timeline or one-size-fits-all process. Together, we’ll gently explore your experience of loss, whether recent or long-held, and make space for the full spectrum of emotions that come with it. Our work together can support you to:

  • Understand and honour your grief
  • Process feelings like guilt, anger, fear or anxiety
  • Reconnect with the parts of you that feel lost or frozen
  • Begin to rebuild trust in life and your place in it

You don’t need to rush or explain your pain away. This is about coming home to yourself, slowly, safely, and in your own time.

In the aftermath of loss, we begin the quiet work of remembering who we are.
