Coping With Loss

Grieving a lost one is normal but one of the most difficult experiences of our lives.

Grief is more than mourning. It can be silent, empty, confusing. A person can feel broken and alone.

When someone is struggling and vulnerable, they need someone to listen. Through stories, people begin to deal with change. People trust us with their stories.

We offer grief and narrative counseling services to provide emotional courage, comfort and healing in a peaceful environment. 

Loss is experienced in a variety of ways:

  • Through death of a loved one,
  • from hate crimes,
  • victims of motor vehicle accidents,
  • sexual abuse,
  • divorce,
  • cultural change,
  • financial ruin,
  • job loss,
  • workplace or school violence,
  • returning veterans, and
  • assault victims.
