When someone you love dies, people often say some version of "let me know if you need anything." 💛
And they mean it. But grief has a way of making it almost impossible to ask.
So you stop talking about it. You learn to edit yourself. And slowly, the loneliness of loss becomes its own kind of weight.
Our newest blog post explores why grief is so isolating, what actually helps, and why healing in community can reach places that grieving alone cannot. 🌿
Here's some of what we explore:
✨ Grief isn't just sadness. It shows up as anger, guilt, numbness, relief, brain fog, physical exhaustion, and waves of all of these at once. Nothing is wrong with you.
✨ Grief has no timeline. It circles back on birthdays, holidays, ordinary Tuesdays. That's not failure. That's love.
✨ Group therapy offers something individual therapy can't: the experience of being witnessed by others who truly get it.
Research shows that bereaved adults consistently rate peer support groups among the most helpful sources of care, often more so than family, colleagues, or even professional providers. 💡
We also share details about a new grief group starting this spring in San Francisco, led by Elaine Walker, LMFT, using art, ritual, mindfulness, and community.
If you or someone you know is navigating loss, our therapists are here. 💚
