Even in the most painful of times, there is kindness around us, there are the cycles of nature, and there are people who might step in and support us.

Grief is an isolating experience, we hold and experience our grief in ways no one else does. No one knows how you are feeling and that can lead to feeling very alone

The first step in grief work is awareness. Many of us try to find ways to distract ourselves from painful feelings and experiences.

This month we are going to spend some time thinking about grief. Each one of us has lost something, a loved one, a pet, a job, an opportunity, a love.

It is inevitable that at some point during your lifetime you are going to suffer with grief not once, but probably multiple times. Most people have the misconception that grief only encompasses the death of a loved one.

Therapy has a lot of potential benefits that you may not have considered.

For the last few weeks, we have talked about grief and the many ways it can manifest, especially for men. We have also encouraged you to reach out and ask for help. The next reasonable question you might have is, how could therapy help you?

You know you can't go on popping off like this but you it also feels like you don't have any other outlet.

Grief can come about when things don't work out the way we might have expected or we don't get the promotion we were hoping for. It encompasses not just the death of a loved one or the loss of a relationship, but so much more, like the loss of a dream or a precious illusion we may have been holding onto.

When most people think about grief, they think the loss of a person. Grief is so much more than that. Grief can be the loss of a relationship, of a job, or even the loss of a hope or dream. We have a right to grieve anything that we lose.
