Grief and Loss of Loved Ones/Pets

Grief therapy is intended to help cope with loss, such as loss of loved ones or pets. Death can
cause both emotional and physical pain that can possibly inhibit daily responsibilities and
functions. A therapist can help you walk through the stages of grief, cope with accepting the loss,
and adapting to life after. Therapy can help you navigate decisions, such as funeral arrangements
and home life.
Techniques:

  • Guidance in talking about the loss, who the person or pet was
  • Describing your emotions and feelings
  • Building coping strategies
  • Learning to accept that grief is normal and identifying unhealthy behaviors
  • Build new relationships
