Online Grief & Loss Counseling

Counseling can provide you with the space and support to find healing in the grieving process.

It’s okay that you don’t know what to say.

Talk to someone who understands. Our Grief Counselors provide a place where clients can deal with the pain and confusion that comes with grief and loss.

Grief is confusing. It can make you doubt everything about yourself, and everything else.

When our grief is great, it feels like it consumes us and our life. Learning to process and accept grief isn’t about “getting over” what happened, it’s about being changed by what happened in a way that doesn’t result in you also losing yourself. If you have a high standard of how you should be progressing, coping, or “moving on” you will be disappointed because grief is about taking care of yourself – not constantly judging, assessing, and ranking your progress.

Our clients report finding peace during grief and loss counseling because of the psychoeducation they receive about the grieving process. During therapy, you will learn that it’s normal to feel like you’re on a roller coaster of emotion and feel more out of control than you have in previous times. With therapy, you will receive the support you need to move through this painful experience and find ways to take care of yourself while still showing honor to the memory of the things lost.

It’s okay if you don’t feel like yourself anymore.

Most people struggle with understanding why they feel so different. Our Grief Counselors understand that grief brings confusion, plus so many more symptoms.

Grief is tiresome. If you’re feeling more tired than you have before, you are probably a little worried. You might even wonder if you’ve somehow changed. You might feel insecure because it doesn’t seem like you can do as much as you used to. Don’t fixate on your change in energy and conclude that you’ve changed; recognize that your life has been changed. Experiencing fatigue during the grieving process is normal and to be expected. It will improve as you move further along in the healing process.

Grief is lonesome, even if you’re not alone. When humans lose something, it doesn’t matter how big or small, we are reminded that we are affected by life. When life seems to be too much, it can feel very isolating. Even when you are surrounded by people that love you and are trying to understand, you can still feel completely alone. Therapy clients report that even if they are experiencing a loss, even if they are physically surrounded by people, they still feel deeply alone. Learning to cope with grief & loss can be one of the most challenging things our lives present.

Grief is saddening. Grief and loss bring sadness. Despite your best efforts, you cannot lessen the sadness. Well-intentioned people try to help you stay focused on the positive, and focus less on the sadness, but it’s pointless. One of the hardest parts of experiencing grief and loss is that there is nothing you can do to change the fact that you feel sad. It’s a process that cannot be rushed and must be endured. It’s easy to get discouraged and overwhelmed by feelings of sadness. With therapy, you can learn how to have realistic expectations for yourself during the grieving process, and find ways to help you cope with your specific loss.

Grief Counseling can help you make sense of why you feel the way you do, and set realistic expectations for when you’ll start feeling more like. The challenging thing about grief is that there is no avoiding it. Our Grief Counselors feel humbled when our clients allow us to join them at one of the most confusing times of their lives.

It’s okay that you are doubting yourself.

Another frustrating thing about grief is that it not only changes how we feel, it can change how we see ourselves.

It can make us doubt ourselves and our decisions.

Most of our clients find that they are dealing with some version of the following questions.

Why don’t I feel like myself? You’ve lost something that made you, uniquely you. When you think about it, it makes sense that after you’ve lost something that has made up the you that you know, you won’t feel like you. In fact, you probably feel worse than you ever have, and less like yourself than you ever have. This is why coping with grief and loss is one of the most soul-testing things you’ve ever experienced.

Will I Always Feel this Way? The sadness you feel has the ability to cloud your judgment and tell your brain that you’ll always feel this way. While you might never feel the way you have in the past, you won’t always feel this way. You’ve lost something dear, and that means you and your life have changed. It can’t go back to “normal” but it can improve. It won’t always feel this bad.

Am I Depressed? In our society, there can be some extra baggage around the word depression. Depressive symptoms are actually part of the normal grieving process. When you’ve experienced a loss, it’s normal to feel sad/depressed about the loss. Not everyone understands that you can feel depressed about your loss, without actually being depressed

You can find hope and healing.

Talk to someone who understands what you’re experiencing, and can help you find a way to let your grief be something that is a part of you, rather than something that consumes you.

Finding a way to move toward hope and healing can be impossible. Our Grief Counselors understand that you might not know how to, but that you want to honor the person you lost in a way that is meaningful. Grief Counseling is designed to help you through your unique journey with grief and loss. Schedule a consultation with our Intake Specialist and get matched with a Grief Counselor.

Online Grief Counseling FAQ

What is Grief Counseling?

Grief Counseling is intended to help individuals and families who have experienced loss. Grieving a loss of any kind can be one of the most confusing things you’ll experience. Our Grief Counseling is designed to help you make sense of what has happened, what is happening to you, and how to move forward to hope and healing, rather than stay feeling stuck.

How does Grief Counseling work?

Sometimes grief seems easier to deal with by not talking about it. While everyone deals with things differently, there are so many invaluable things that can be gained from Grief Counseling. Grief Counseling can provide you with the understanding of the grief process, and the support you need as you progress through it. A lot of times people are confused because they will feel like things are improving, and then all of a sudden they feel like it’s going badly. It’s the emotional roller coaster that keeps most people confused and feeling like they can’t make progress. They feel like they are going a little crazy. Grief Counseling provides a place to learn about your grief, to process and make your peace with it.

When is Grief Counseling needed?

Grief Counseling is helpful when someone has experienced a loss, and doesn’t feel like themselves. They might be surrounded by people that love them, but they still feel alone. When a loss is severe enough to affect how you feel every day, Grief Counseling can help!

How much does Grief Counseling cost?

The price of counseling varies from private practice to private practice. At Resolve Counseling Group, our aim is to help clients in whatever way is most needed. This means that we do not accept insurance because of the limitations it places on the type of counseling a client can receive. Most insurances require a diagnosis be given for a client attending counseling. Especially with grief, most people do not need a psychiatric diagnosis, but need help process the loss they’ve just endured. Our specific session fees can be found on our FAQ page.

How long does the Grief Counseling process take?

The Grief Counseling process is much like the grieving process, it takes time. Part of Grief Counseling is working with your Grief Counselor to determine what is right for you. Part of that discussion will include length of treatment, frequency and many other things.

How do I know if Grief Counseling is right for me?

If you’ve experienced a loss and feel forever changed, Grief Counseling can provide the support and guidance you need. If you’re wanting to move from confusion, chaos and anger to acceptance and healing, Grief Counseling can help!

How often should I have a session for Grief Counseling?

Part of the counseling process is for clients and therapists to build a relationship where they make decisions about what the client needs and wants. Clients will work with their Grief Counselor to determine how frequent a therapy session would be helpful. As a rule of thumb, we tell our clients to expect to need to come weekly for therapy for the first 6-8 weeks, and then create a plan with their therapist to re-evaluate and consider going to bi-weekly sessions.
