Understanding Grief & Loss
The weight of a loss that hasn't settled into something you can carry.
Grief is not a disorder, but it can become stuck. We offer compassionate, non-pathologizing support to help you process loss, alongside screening for depression that may benefit from additional care.
How it shows up
Grief is the weight of a loss that hasn't settled into something you can carry — longing, preoccupation, numbness, and difficulty re-engaging with life. It's not a disorder, but it can become stuck.
What's driving it
Grief follows its own timeline, but prolonged grief — where the pain hasn't lessened over many months and daily life has stopped — can benefit from support. Screening for depression that may have emerged alongside is part of good care.
When to seek help
If months have passed and the grief is as raw as day one, or if you can't re-engage with life and relationships, compassionate support helps. You don't have to do this alone, and reaching out isn't a betrayal of what you lost.
The evidence
About 7–10% of bereaved people develop prolonged grief; specialized grief therapy is effective.
