Navigating the Waves of Grief and Loss
Grief isn't just about death. It's a natural response to any significant loss in our lives. As a grief specialist, I'm here to support you through all types of loss, whether it's the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, loss of a job, or any other major life change.
Understanding Different Types of Grief
☑️ Death-related grief: Losing a loved one
☑️ Non-death grief: Job loss, divorce, loss of identity/norm after a recent life change (i.e early parenthood, breakup, caregiving for someone with a chronic illness such as dementia-related illness), health changes, etc.
☑️ Anticipatory grief: Grieving before an expected loss
☑️ Complicated grief: When grief doesn't ease over time
