DEPRESSION, GRIEF, AND LOSS
From everyday heaviness to the unthinkable weight of loss, grief needs space to unfold, not necessarily strategies to resolve. Sadness and depression often move together, each bleeding into the other until the boundaries blur. What starts as mourning can harden into something more immobilizing. What feels like depression might be grief that hasn't been witnessed or allowed. What looks like sadness might be protecting you from the full impact of what's been lost.
Grief does not follow a predictable timeline or move through stages with any clinical neatness. It resurfaces, shifts shape, and demands attention when least expected. It frequently appears in the subconscious—showing up in dreams as the person you lost, as landscapes you can’t quite leave, or as a persistent search for something you cannot name.
In addressing grief and loss, we pay close attention to how these feelings communicate. We look beyond just the spoken word to the images that return and the feelings that refuse to let go, honoring the unique way your psyche processes the symptoms of grief.
Grief is paradoxical. It can deaden and deepen at the same time. Alongside the heaviness, there is often something else: an aliveness that remains, a capacity to feel that loss itself reveals. Grief exposes what mattered, what still matters, and what continues to live inside you even in absence. The work is staying present to both realities: the sorrow and what has not been extinguished by it.
Therapy offers a place where grief can unfold without being hurried, explained away, or pathologized. Loss is taken seriously, and where what remains can slowly find its own form.
