Grief & Bereavement Therapy

Experiencing the Loss of a Loved One Brings Deepest Grief and Sorrow

Grief & Bereavement Therapy: Finding Peace during the Storm

People’s Responses to Grief Will Vary Depending upon the Circumstances of the Death, but Grief Is a Normal, Healthy Response to Loss.

Losing someone you love is a very difficult experience, which cannot be fully explained or understood. Grief is different for everyone. It can feel like your world has changed, yet everything is the same, leaving you to deal and understand with so many emotions: sadness, regret, or fear, all alone and how to move forward.

I was at my friend’s mom’s funeral, and I couldn’t help but notice how many people were telling her to be strong. “You have to be strong for your family, you need to be strong for your siblings.” I wanted to scream at them. Didn’t they realize how much pain she was in? Didn’t they understand that she didn’t want to be strong? She wanted to cry, to mourn the loss of her loved one. But she felt like she couldn’t because she was supposed to be strong.

It’s so frustrating when people tell us we need to be strong after a loved one dies. We’re already dealing with so much pain, and it feels like they’re telling us that our grief doesn’t matter, that we should just put on a brave face and move on. It’s not fair.

It is okay not to be strong all the time. It is okay to let yourself feel the sadness and grief that are ripping through you. You don’t have to be strong for anyone else but yourself. And that is okay. Your main matters, your emotions matter, your needs matter as much as everyone else who is dealing with the same loss.

At Telechats Therapy, we understand how heavy this weight can feel, and our Grief & Bereavement Therapy is designed to offer comfort, understanding, and a way forward during this tough time.

Grief isn’t the same for everyone. Maybe you’re cycling through waves of sadness and calm or feeling isolated because your grief looks different from others’. Our therapy sessions offer a private, safe place where you can process these complex emotions at your own pace, helping you feel less alone and more understood. You are allowed to be angry, have guilt, regret, or just feel completely alone.

How Our Therapy Can Help with Grief and Loss
You’ll find a space to fully explore your emotions and move toward peace. Through our therapy, you can:

Safely express feelings like sadness, anger, or even relief.
Gain peace with these emotions in a non-judgmental setting.
Build healthy coping skills that help you rebuild a life of meaning and purpose.
Understand what emotions you are feeling, and why.

Grief sometimes brings unexpected feelings, such as relief or guilt, which can be hard to accept alone. We’re here to help you make sense of all your emotions, supporting you as you find resilience and reclaim peace.

Our Approach: Personalized Grief Therapy with Compassion and Love
At Telechats Therapy, we tailor our approach to fit your unique needs. Here are some of the methods we may include in our grief sessions:

EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
EMDR can be particularly helpful for those facing traumatic or intense grief. Initially designed for trauma, this therapy helps your mind “reprocess” difficult memories, softening the emotional weight tied to them. For instance, if you’re struggling with guilt over things left unsaid, EMDR may help you transform that regret into acceptance and peace.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT focuses on shifting negative or limiting thought patterns that often accompany grief. Painful beliefs like “I’ll never be happy again” can become overwhelming. In CBT sessions, we’ll work together to gently reframe these thoughts, helping you find a new perspective that brings relief and control over your mind’s direction.
Mindfulness and Acceptance Therapy
Mindfulness exercises help you stay present, allowing you to experience grief without being consumed by it. We’ll guide you in mindfulness techniques so you can observe and “ride the wave” of emotions, making it easier to manage feelings of sadness, anger, or even moments of calm as they arise.

Is Grief Counseling Right for You?
Consider whether these experiences sound familiar:

Difficulty moving forward after a significant loss.
Overwhelming feelings of sadness or despair.
A sense of isolation as others “move on.”
A longing to reconnect with happiness or purpose.

If you relate to any of these, grief counseling can offer the support, structure, and empathy needed to help you heal. Whether your loss happened recently or years ago, we’re here to help you process your grief and rebuild a meaningful life.
