Grief and Loss
Grief is often associated with the death of a loved one, but it can encompass much more. Grief and loss can be tied to any significant life change or transition, including the loss of a job, a relationship, health changes, or even moving to a new city. The emotions of sadness, anger, confusion, and low mood that accompany these events are normal, but they can feel overwhelming, especially when the grief is not fully understood or processed.
At Mind and Body Solutions, we provide a compassionate, safe, and non-judgmental space where you can explore and express the feelings related to grief and loss, no matter the source. We recognize that each person’s grief is unique and that healing requires a personalized approach. We help clients process their grief at their own pace, with an open-ended timeline that allows for the full emotional journey to unfold.
