Is my loss "significant enough" for grief counseling?
Grief counseling is not limited to certain types of losses. Your grief is valid, and you need support if you have lost someone close to your heart, like a family member, partner, or during pregnancy.
How long after a loss should I start counseling?
There is no perfect time to start grief counseling. Some people come immediately after a loss, while others join sessions months or years later. If your grief feels heavy and confusing, it is good to seek help.
What if I don't cry or don't feel "sad enough"?
Grief affects people differently. Some feel disconnected and numb, while others are openly sad. Consultation can help you understand your grief and manage it more effectively.
