Navigating Grief and Loss
“Grief is a natural response to an ending, not a mental illness needing to be fixed. Deep love causes deep grief. You’re not crazy, you’re not broken, you’re in grief”. David Kessler

Anticipatory Grief: when your loved one is diagnosed with a terminal illness
Your grief is unique, what we explore depends on your needs. Topics may include:
YOUR SAFETY
​
Grief can be overwhelming, and it is not uncommon to feel like you no longer want to live. Many people in grief have fleeting thoughts of wanting to “join their loved one”, or “no longer want to exist”.
