Loss or Grief can be an internal or external association. As much as we grieve others we can also grieve ourselves.

LifeCycle Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, MPE, RP
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.

Kurt Zubatiuk
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Registered Psychotherapist), Diploma TIRP, member CAPT
When we lose someone, through death or in some other way, we need someone to talk to. Someone who listens and strives to understand as we work though the often complex and confusing range of emotions that loss and grief bring. Most of all we need someone to be there who can be steady and accept the intense pain that we carry, the rage, the sadness, all of it. Eventually something inside can lighten. Perhaps it doesn't go away, but it hurts less. We can tolerate it. Manage it. Life opens again.

Jaime Brand
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, Associate Certified Coach (ACC)
As humans, we are all likely to experience loss or grief over the course of our lifetime. While inevitable, it is not something we are often prepared to experience and/or process when it happens. When experiencing a sense of loss or grief it is important to find support in a safe space to share your feelings, thoughts, and fears, as you navigate your life post-loss, of any kind. I am honoured to provide that space for you.

The grieving process is unique to each individual, with no set timeline or roadmap. It is a journey marked by waves of emotions, memories, and adjustments to life without what was lost.

We go through the Stages of Grief and Loss allowing you to be balanced and understand your up and down emotions.

Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, MSc
Nearly all clients have something to grieve, whether it's the end of a relationship or the end of a life, human or non-human. Loss may relate to disability/illness, life transitions, displacement, intergenerational trauma, colonial violence, or climate disaster. When you want to go there, I'm ready to be in it with you. A relational therapy approach is especially attuned to the ways loss can shift our connections to self and others. We'll explore what grief looks like for you so we can honour your losses as well as integrate what you want to carry forward in your grief.

Laura Farberman
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW
Grief can result many types of loss and life transitions: death of a loved one,loss of a relationship, miscarriage, abortion, job loss, aging, loss of our sexual selves. Walking alongside those who are in the process of grief I help them find peace from their loss, and wholeness to their life. I see clients dealing with grief as a normal and necessary process as well as complicated grief, anticipatory grief and trauma. Understanding the nature of grief, it is possible to get through this time of confusion, sadness, anger & loneliness to a place of hope and inner peace.

David Rockman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW RSW BA psych hon
Embracing the journey grief can be a profound and transformative experience. As a specialist in treating people with loss and grief, I work with individualist navigate the complexities of their emotions and find healing through Narrative Therapy and an Internal Family Systems approach. Grief is a powerful force that has a life of its own, often reflecting the depth of love we hold for what we have lost. By engaging in an internal dialogue with our grief, we can begin to unravel its meaning and use it as a source of wisdom and growth. Through this process, we can nourish ourselves with the lessons grief has to offer and move towards a state of peace and acceptance. Remember, it is okay to seek support and guidance during times of loss. You are not alone on this journey.

Grieving is a natural process in life. Complicated grief however can disrupt your sleep, work and relationships in ways that are profoundly challenging to identity. Be not dismayed. The path has been travelled many times. If you are suffering a tragic loss or life transition like a job loss or a marriage, grieving can support the process in developing a new life moving forward.

Watras Counselling and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
Grief, loss, and bereavement, whether it is the passing of a loved one, the end of a career, or the falling apart of a relationship are all similar: we are losing or have lost an important part of our lives. Understanding the emotions, feelings, and behaviours we have when we experience grief and bereavement is part of helping us accept what has occurred, why we feel the way that we are feeling, and what is next for us. In working with clients on grief, loss, and bereavement it is important to understand that the way we process these experiences is unique to each person, and the pillar of respect is paramount.

Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In facing the profound journey through loss and grief, I provide a compassionate and understanding presence, recognizing the uniqueness of each person's experience. Integrating holistic strategies such as the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness practices, I gently guide clients towards healing. This multifaceted approach supports individuals in processing their emotions, finding peace, and gradually rebuilding their lives. Emphasizing the importance of self-care and gentle self-awareness, I aim to offer a space where feelings of loss can be expressed freely, fostering a path to recovery that honors personal timelines and resilience. Together, we explore coping strategies and tools that not only help in navigating the complexities of grief but also in rediscovering strength and hope. For those walking the path of loss, I am here to support you with empathy and understanding, helping you to move forward with grace and dignity.

From a trauma-informed understanding, loss or grief create an experience of disconnectedness that often result in feeling lonely, isolated, abandoned, failed, rejected, lost among others. The work we can do will include helping you better understand your loss or grief, developing healthier and more helpful ways of coping with it, and ultimately helping you process it so you reconnect and move on with your life.
