Grief Therapy and Support in Kansas

Modern support for all types of grieving.

You feel lost in the waves of emotions you can’t understand.

Emotions and feelings that you experience before or after losing someone can be unexplainable and deeply painful. Losing someone can also feel isolating. You may even feel wrong about the way you are grieving. Questions may arise about how you’re coping and why it is different than someone else. These intense feelings may come and go, or they may always be present and persistent. They can feel more intense some days and better other days.

People in your life that experience the same loss may handle it differently. This doesn’t mean you’re wrong and they’re right, or that you’re right and they’re wrong. The experience is just different. It’s possible that you don’t feel anything at all. You could have guilt that you’re not as sad as you think you should be. You may wonder if there is something wrong with you because you aren’t handling a loss like someone else.

You’re feeling:

Confused and lost, you can’t make sense of what has happened
Stuck at a point you think you won’t ever get out of, trapped in disbelief, overwhelmed
Like you want to wake up from a never ending nightmare, afraid of your emotions
Like you are wrong for being sad and hurt, like you should be able to get over it or move on
