Grief and loss

Grief is a deeply personal and often overwhelming response to loss.  Whether it's the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or a significant life change, grief can bring a wide range of emotions, from sadness and anger to confusion and numbness.  At Oakridge Counseling Center, we offer compassionate support to help you navigate through your grief in a way that honors your unique experience.

Understanding Grief

Grief doesn't follow a set timeline or a linear path. It can affect your emotional, mental and physical well-being in profound ways.  Common reactions to grief include:

  • Sadness or depression

  • Anger or irritability

  • Guilt or regret

  • Confusion or disorientation

  • Numbness or feeling disconnected from others

  • Fatigue or difficulty concentrating

Everyone grieves differently, and there is no "right" way to mourn.  While grief is a natural response to loss, it can sometimes feel overwhelming or isolating, especially when it continues for an extended period or interferes with your ability to function in daily life.

How Counseling Can Help

Grief counseling provides a safe, non-judgmental space to explore and express your emotions.  Our goal is to support you through the grief process, helping you make sense of your feelings and find ways to cope with the pain.  Through therapy you can:

  • Process the loss at your own pace.

  • Identify and express complex emotions life anger, guilt, or regret.

  • Develop coping strategies to manage grief in your daily life.

  • Work through unresolved issues that may surface during grieving such as feelings of blame and guilt.

  • Find meaning and healing as you adjust to a new reality without your loved one or former life.

At Oakridge Counseling Center, we approach grief counseling with empathy and respect, recognizing that your journey through loss is uniquely your own.  Whether you are experiencing fresh grief or dealing with long-standing feelings of loss, we are here to help you find comfort, healing, and hope for the future.
