Grief and Loss Therapy in California

 

If you are grieving right now, we want you to know that your feelings are valid.

Grief looks different for everyone. It can also mean a lot of different things. Grief means mourning a loss -- but that doesn't have to mean the loss of life. For example, it can also be the loss of opportunities or memories, such as events cancelled due to COVID, or the loss of a childhood due to trauma.

In his book The Wild Edge of Sorrow, Francis Willer introduces the “Five Gates of Grief.” This book, and Willer's way of looking at grief, offers an invitation to grief that's open to all of us, whether or not we have experienced the loss of a loved one.
