Grief & Loss

You might not have given yourself permission to grieve it. Maybe it didn't feel serious enough. Maybe you were the strong one, the one who kept things together. Maybe you're not even sure what you're grieving — just that something feels unresolved.

What Unprocessed Grief Can Look Like

Emotional numbness or a sense of being disconnected from your life

Replaying memories, conversations, or things left unsaid

Difficulty finding meaning or motivation

Guilt — about surviving, about moving on, about feeling relieved

Anger that seems disproportionate to what's in front of you

A sense that part of you is frozen at a particular moment in the past

How I Work With Grief

Section Title

Grief doesn't need to be fixed or resolved on a timeline. What it usually needs is space — to be witnessed without being rushed, minimized, or redirected toward silver linings.

At the same time, grief can get stuck. When it does, it's often because there are layers underneath it — beliefs about what the loss means, emotions that feel too dangerous to fully feel, a sense of self that was tied to what was lost. My approach creates space for the full weight of grief while also gently working with what's keeping it frozen. This isn't about reaching acceptance. It's about being able to carry what you've lost without it carrying you.

Grief That Doesn't Follow the Rules

Grief is supposed to have a shape. A beginning, a middle, an eventual end. People expect it to look like crying, like missing someone, like sadness with a clear cause. And sometimes it does look like that.

But a lot of grief doesn't. It shows up as irritability, or numbness, or a restlessness you can't name. It comes from losses that don't get acknowledged — the relationship that ended before it really began, the estrangement from a parent, the version of your life you thought you'd have by now. It surfaces years after a death, when you thought you were fine. It sits quietly inside losses that aren't losses of a person at all: a diagnosis, a miscarriage, a faith you've walked away from, a childhood that was never really safe.
