Grief and loss are a part of the human condition. Grief is typically considered to be brought on by the death of a loved one, but can also be triggered by any significant life-altering loss (such as a divorce or the loss of a job). Grief is a natural response to loss, but that doesn’t make it easy to deal with. Symptoms of grief may include sadness, loneliness, anger, denial, depression and a myriad of other thoughts and feelings. There is no “normal” amount of time for grief to pass, but if you find that your grief is not improving over time or that it is interfering with your everyday life, you may want to consider seeking professional help. A qualified grief counselor can help you to cope with the physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and cognitive responses to loss. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s grief experts today.

"Is this really it?, Is this all there is?" Sounds a little too familiar? Life is feeling chaotic, unfulfilling, or just blah. Some days it feels like you have it together, some days it feels like one wrong move and everything is going to fall apart. Anxiety, self-doubt, and depression are all holding you back. You and I can work together to build a life worth living. We aren't looking for unattainable perfection. It's knowing that you will prevail even when life gets tough.
