Surviving loss: If you have experienced the intense sadness and grief assocoiated with loss, we can help. Do you find yourself stuck in a sense of surreal numbness? Are you asking questions like, "I don't understand... How could this happen... I never even saw it coming... How could this disaster strike so many... I've lost everything... Why did I survive... How could he/she do this... Why didn't I see this coming... How do I even process this?" Are you feeling guilt, shame, or are you stuck wondering what you could have done to prevent the loss, the tragedy, or someone's suicide? You are not alone.
Tragedy seems to be all around us. While grief is often associated with the death of a loved one, grief is also associated with natural distasters, violent crime, betrayal, the death of our dreams, broken relationships, and more. When the loss is associated with suicide, our emotional repsonse becomes much more complicated. Grief is a normal part of life, but it can become complex and leave us feeling stuck and lost. Do not try to suffer through the grieving process alone, there is help available. You are not broken or crazy, you are not weak, you can get through this with help and support.
