Grief and Loss Counseling in Lone Jack, MO.

As a person well acquainted with grief and loss, I understand how important it is to feel like you're not alone in it. Grief can be a whirlwind and feel 1,000 different ways. I know that loss takes various forms and make sure that the support you receive is specific to you and not just a "one size fits all" model. Our times together would look different depending on what you need that week, but it could be practical advice on moving forward, sitting with your emotions in a safe place, or listening to memories of the one you lost.

It is important to understand that working through grief is a journey. It is coming to terms with the loss of hopes, dreams, and visions of what we thought the future would bring. Working through grief takes time and permission to allow ourselves to feel what we feel and still move toward a resolution of hope and healing for the future. Let me help you discover ways of coping that are best suited to you and your pace during this time of healing. Giving yourself permission to move forward with life is not a dismissal of the loss of people, events, physical belongings, or plans that were most important to you… it is redefining what you envision for yourself and your future.

Experiencing grief can be gut wrenching and very painful. Healing from the painful loss of a loved one can take time and attempting to move forward seem impossible. I have extended training in helping individuals work through what can seem impossible - but eventually become a little easier with each passing day. Counseling won't cancel your pain - but it can help you move through your pain to understand and respond to your loss in a healthier way.
