Grief Counseling

Everyone experiences grief in their own way. We create a confidential, safe place where you can feel comforted and understood while learning to manage the changes and challenges that come with all types of loss — illness, age, sudden or accidental death, suicide, child or pregnancy loss.

In 1969, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross identified five linear stages of grief:

• Denial

• Anger

• Bargaining

• Depression

• Acceptance

Kubler-Ross originally developed this model to illustrate the process of bereavement, yet she eventually adapted the model to account for any type of grief. Kubler-Ross noted that everyone experiences at least two of the five stages of grief. She also acknowledged that some people may revisit certain stages over many years or throughout life.

Although grief looks different for everyone, shared experience is often still extremely beneficial. For this reason, we provide grief groups and facilitate connections between those struggling to understand and overcome grief. For more information, please visit our Groups page.
