Loss or Grief
The Joy of You
Hypnotherapist, CCHt, NWP, EP, B.Msc
While the grieving process is unique to each individual, there are some common emotions and experiences that people often go through. It's normal to feel a wide range of emotions such as sadness, anger, guilt, confusion, and even numbness. Remember that these feelings are all part of the healing process, and it's important to allow yourself to fully experience and process them.
It's also important to take care of yourself during this time. Make sure to prioritize self-care and give yourself permission to grieve in whatever way feels right for you. Surround yourself with loved ones who can provide support and understanding. Consider seeking professional help, such as counseling or therapy, if you feel it would be beneficial.
Remember that healing takes time, and there is no set timeline for grieving. It's okay to take things at your own pace and honor your feelings and memories of your loss.

Loss or Grief
Melanie Bettes
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, Coach
Losing someone or something important in our lives is so difficult to move through when we hear people say platitudes like 'they're in a better place'. True or not, it can feel dismissive of our own emotions. Others are so uncomfortable with OUR grief that they do everything they can to keep us from crying. Again, dismissing our feelings. Grief is a journey. There's no way around it, only through. I would love to hear about your loved one and what made them special to you. (Pets included!) Together, we'll come up with ways to honor the memory and time you had together.

Loss or Grief
Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver approaches grief as a uniquely personal and non-linear process, understanding that each journey through loss is as individual as the person experiencing it. She guides her clients through grief’s complex stages—including shock, denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance, and hope. Dr. Cynthia validates that people don’t always move through these stages in a set order or even experience them all. Whether the loss is due to the passing of a loved one, the end of a marriage, children moving out of the home, or the heartache of losing a beloved pet, Dr. Cynthia recognizes that grief can reappear and shift in intensity over time. The intensity of complex grief can lead to depression and complex grief should be addressed with a qualified mental health professional.
Dr. Cynthia also understands that grief can lead to physical and emotional burnout. Unprocessed or ongoing grief can be especially draining, leading to exhaustion, decreased motivation, and even physical symptoms like fatigue and anxiety. Dr. Cynthia helps her clients process these emotions, providing support for high-functioning women who often feel pressured to "keep it together" despite their own pain. Her approach integrates empathy and evidence-based methods to support clients in navigating their grief, regaining strength, and eventually finding meaning through their loss. Whether working on acceptance, healing, or creating new routines, Dr. Cynthia is committed to walking alongside her clients with compassion and expertise.
