Grief and Loss Therapy for Atlanta and Decatur

You feel alone in your loss. Whether it is the death of a loved one, the end of a friendship or a relationship, the loss of a job, moving out of your home, a child going off to college, loss of health or of a physical ability; your future looks different, and that can be scary.

What to do now? How do you move forward? You’re starting to wonder if seeking grief counseling could be helpful.

You’re feeling so many different things. Along with sadness and fear, you may be feeling anger. How could this have happened? You may feel guilt or even feel ashamed for the relief you feel.

Well-meaning platitudes make you feel worse. “Stay strong.” “They are in a better place.” “It was expected.” “Keep busy.” “It was God’s will.” “You need to move on.” None of these help your grief. On the contrary, you feel judged for not displaying grief in the way others expect.

You may feel that no one understands or that the people around you are moving on while you are unable to. You may even be confused by the conflicting emotions you are feeling moment by moment. Sometimes it feels like you are riding a rollercoaster. You are going about your day as if everything is fine, and then a memory surfaces, seemingly out of nowhere, that plummets you into despair. You may wonder if you will always feel like this. There is hope and help to move forward. You are not alone.

At Aspen Grove Counseling and Wellness, our therapists will walk alongside you in grief counseling to process all of the feelings related to your loss.

We will work with you towards being able to enjoy fond memories separate from the painful feelings of loss, guilt, anger, or remorse. We will aid you in finding new meaning in life without fear. We will provide a space that acknowledges that it is okay to feel sad from time to time and to talk about those feelings. Our therapists provide a warm, accepting atmosphere that encourages growth, strength, and possibility.
