Grief and Loss

Healing from any significant loss demands time, patience and courage. Miscarriage; stillbirth, and infant death are particularly challenging as couples face the loss of hope, the absence of etablished rituals of mourning, and the consequent social isolation and loneliness. In such difficult times therapy can:

• Provide you with a sense of safety and connection to others
• Allow you to freely express the intensity of your grief, and to explore the various emotional states you might experience (protest, anger, chaos, longing, sadness, resignation, disappointment, despair, acceptance)
• Help you create personal and family rituals to ease your grief
• Enhance your understanding of your own and your partners styles of grieving
• Aid you in caring for your physical, emotional, and spiritual health
