Grief is the process of reacting to a loss. This loss could be physical (death of a loved one), social (such as a divorce), or occupational (such as work-related). An individual experiencing grief may have conflicted feelings and may experience fluctuations in symptoms throughout their process. Often times, individuals might feel as though they have accepted the loss and have gotten closure. However, later on they may begin to experience grief again and that is okay. Closure is not a one-time thing, it can happen over the course of weeks, months, or even years. Sometimes we are able to gain closure on certain aspects of the loss, and other parts may take a bit longer. Individuals may find that their emotional reaction changes and fluctuates, and can entail different emotions and behaviors. Feelings of sadness can also begin to intensify as the individual begins to yearn to be with the loved one again.
Psychotherapy can be effective in helping an individual overcome grief by allowing the individual to come to terms with the loss, to help work through pain and grief, and help to learn how to move forward and adapt to a life without the loved one. Psychotherapy can also help you to find ways to maintain a connection with the loss. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy approaches have been successful in helping to treat grief and loss. Additionally, Relaxation Techniques and Mindfulness-based interventions, may also be helpful.

Lori Schledewitz
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RP
A loss isn't easy; it can overwhelm and upend even the most stalwart lives. While we can try and plan for it, sudden or not, the pain and anguish felt by the finality of a heartfelt loss are resounding.
Our brains are socially driven, and the need for connection is biologically wired to ensure the survival of our species. Grief is a natural, visceral response experienced due to connective loss regardless of the circumstances - death, job, relationship, injury or illness.
I understand that the pain from the loss may never go away, but together we can work to develop a more compassionate relationship for managing grief. We will explore how to respond to your pain with kindness and move towards a rich and meaningful life despite the loss, reclaiming peace and fulfillment.

Kristina Snaith
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Qualifying)
Grief comes in so many different forms from a loss of a loved family or friend, loss of a pet or someone influential in your life. It can result from life changes, especially sudden ones, when we just feel lost. Therapy can offer a consistent space to feel anchored when everything else is unknown.

Mind By Design®
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychology and Coaching Clinics
Although grief is a necessary reaction to losses of every sort, complicated grief occurs when one cannot adapt to their losses. The same is true for bereavement, which is the period of grief and mourning after experiencing a loss. Symptoms of complicated grief or bereavement can include extended periods of acute grief, extensive preoccupation with the loss, feelings of worthlessness, extended feeling or numbness or denial, changes in personal relationships, and engaging in self-destructive activities.

Registered Social Worker, MSW RSW
The feelings of grief and loss are both overwhelming but can also be very isolating. Therapy provides you safe and confidential space to process your grief whether it’s related to the loss of a loved one, a relationship, loss of job, loss of a dream etc. Often people are left alone to deal with their feelings on their own, but grief counselling can support you process your feelings related to your loss.

Josh Sebastian
Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker
I know how difficult it can be to lose someone in your life or something in your life. Grief is oftentimes associated with the loss of a person, but we may also grieve the loss of a relationship, the loss of a job, the loss of social connection, etc. As someone who has focused on serious illnesses and grief throughout my education, I hope to provide a space to explore your anticipatory or active grief and work together to reach a place of peace. I know reaching out can be the hardest part, but I promise you it's worth it.
