Grief can feel like a storm—unexpected, intense, and hard to navigate through…
Grief touches every part of your life—not just your emotions, but your energy, your routine, and even the sense of who you are. It’s not just the sadness that weighs heavy on your heart; it’s the sudden changes in your every day world that make each moment feel unfamiliar. Simple tasks can feel overwhelming, and while life around you keeps moving, it can feel like you’re standing still.
We offer a compassionate space to process your grief, make sense of your loss, and gently find your way forward.
You might find Grief Therapy helpful when you're facing things like…
Having a hard time feeling happy again
Having a hard time accepting your loss
Feeling lost in sadness, anger, frustration, confusion, or guilt
Feeling out of touch with your loved ones
Can’t find purpose in your life
Day-to-day life, along with all the emotions is overwhelming
"Grief is the price we pay for love."
– Queen Elizabeth II
GRIEF THERAPY IN WINNIPEG
What is Grief Therapy? What can I expect?
Grief doesn’t always show up after the death of someone you care about. In reality, it can appear after you lose a job, experience new health issues, after a break-up, or at the end of a friendship. When we are grieving, we often feel overwhelmed disconnected with others, and truly struggle to cope with day to day life. Grief shows up in more than just our feelings—it weaves its way through our thoughts, bodies, and daily lives, impacting us on every level.
Grief therapy provides a compassionate and supportive space to process your loss, whatever form it takes. It's not about "getting over it," but rather learning how to carry your grief while slowly rebuilding a sense of stability and meaning. Through conversation, reflection, and gentle guidance, grief therapy helps you explore the emotional, physical, and mental impacts of your loss, while offering tools to navigate the days ahead with greater clarity and support. Whether your grief feels fresh or has lingered quietly for years, therapy can help you feel less alone in your journey.
