Grief & Loss

Support for your grief and loss

At Trisha Johnson Therapy Group, we understand that grief is one of life’s most profound emotional experiences. It touches every aspect of your being, often leaving you feeling lost, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to move forward. Whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a cherished dream, or an important life change, grief is unique to everyone. Our compassionate team is here to guide you through this sensitive time, offering a safe space for healing and growth.

What Is Grief?

Grief is the natural emotional response to loss. It’s a deeply personal experience, marked by feelings of sadness, heartbreak, confusion and sometimes even anger or guilt. While grief is commonly associated with the death of a loved one, it can also arise from many other life changes, such as a divorce, the loss of a job, a serious illness, or even moving away from a familiar home. Grief takes many forms, and no two people grieve the same way.

Symptoms of Grief

The symptoms of grief can vary dramatically from one person to another, impacting both emotional and physical well-being. Emotional symptoms may include:

• Profound sadness
• Anger
• Guilt
• Fear
• A sense of emptiness 

Physical symptoms might manifest as fatigue, insomnia, changes in appetite, or even aches and pains. It’s not uncommon to feel overwhelmed or even question your sense of reality. These symptoms are all part of the grieving process, but it’s crucial to remember that they do not follow a predictable path or timeline. Grief is not linear—it ebbs and flows, often resembling a roller coaster of emotions.

How Therapy Can Help With Grief

Grieving can feel isolating, but you don’t have to face it alone. Therapy provides an opportunity to work through the pain in a safe, supportive environment. At Trisha Johnson Therapy Group, our approach is tailored to meet your individual needs. We help you process your feelings, debunk common myths about grief, and guide you toward rediscovering a sense of balance and purpose. 

Through therapy, we offer support to identify healthy coping mechanisms, process unresolved emotions, and manage the physical toll that grief may take. Whether your loss is recent or you’ve been struggling with grief for years, our therapists are equipped to help you explore your emotions and work towards healing at your own pace. 

Moving Forward From a Loss

Moving forward does not mean leaving your loss behind. Instead, it’s about finding ways to carry its meaning with you while still living a fulfilling life. Grief and loss often call for finding new routines, relationships, or even perspectives. Our role is to help you acknowledge your pain while empowering you to honor your grief in meaningful ways. Everyone heals in their own time, and that healing can start with simply reaching out.
