What is Grief?
Grief is a normal and natural response to loss. It's the feeling you get when something or someone you love is taken away. The pain of grief can feel like physical pain. You might feel like you can't breathe like you're being smothered, or have a heavy weight on your chest. You might feel dizzy, lightheaded, or faint. Grief can also make you feel physically exhausted. It's not uncommon to have trouble sleeping, loss of appetite, or have no energy.
Emotionally, grief can be overwhelming. You might experience:
Disbelief or shock
Anger
Guilt
Depression
Anxiety
Loneliness
Grief is a personal experience that everyone copes with in their own way. There is no right or wrong way to grieve. And there is no timeline for grief. Some people start to feel better in weeks or months. For others, the grieving process takes much longer.
When should I see a grief counselor?
There is no right or wrong time to seek grief counseling. Some people benefit from counseling immediately after their loss. Others find that they need more time to process their grief before they're ready to talk about it with a counselor. If you're struggling to cope with your loss, if your grief is impacting your daily life, or if you've been grieving for a long time, counseling can be very helpful in helping you process your grief. If you're interested in grief counseling, please Jennifer L. Hillier M.A. LPC to schedule an appointment. I would be honored to help you on your journey through grief.
How can counseling help me with my grief?
Counseling can't take away your pain or make your loss go away. But it can help you cope with the pain and start to heal. Talking about your grief with a counselor can be incredibly helpful. A counselor can provide support and understanding during this difficult time. They can also offer coping strategies and tools to help you through the grieving process.
The benefits of grief counseling can last long after your sessions are over. Grief counseling can help you:
Understand your grief and what to expect

What can I expect in grief counseling?
Grief counseling is a safe place for you to share your thoughts and feelings about your loss. It's a place where you can be honest about your pain and sorrow. You might cry or get angry in grief counseling. That's OK. In fact, it's often a necessary part of the healing process. Grief counseling can take place in individual or group sessions. I often recommend a combination of both. Individual sessions provide a chance for you to share your story and receive personalized attention and support. Group sessions offer the opportunity to connect with others who are grieving and learn from their experiences.
