Understanding Grief & Its Impact
Grief is a natural response to loss, but its effects can be deeply personal and varied. It may manifest as emotional pain, physical symptoms, or mental exhaustion, and it doesn’t follow a predictable timeline. Feelings like sadness, anger, guilt, and confusion are common, but everyone experiences grief in their own way. At Wildflower Therapy Group, we recognize that your journey through grief is unique, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Other Types of Grief
Recognizable and Anticipatory Grief
This includes grief that is widely understood or anticipated, such as mourning the death of a loved one (recognizable grief) or grieving a loss before it happens, like during a loved one’s terminal illness (anticipatory grief).
Complex and Hidden Grief
These types of grief may be prolonged, complicated, or not easily recognized by others. Examples include complicated grief (intense and prolonged mourning that disrupts daily life), disenfranchised grief (grief not acknowledged by society, such as miscarriage or pet loss), and masked grief (grief that manifests as physical symptoms or behaviors).
Unconventional or Secondary Grief
Grief tied to unique circumstances or additional losses, such as ambiguous grief (loss without closure, like a missing person), secondary grief (grieving the ripple effects of a loss, such as financial insecurity), or collective grief (mourning shared by a community due to large-scale tragedies).
The Benefits of Grief Counseling
Grief counseling provides a safe and supportive space to explore and process the complex emotions that come with loss. Your counselor will help you understand the grieving process, validate your feelings, and guide you in navigating how grief impacts your life emotionally, mentally, and physically.
Together, you’ll develop practical tools for managing overwhelming emotions, such as mindfulness exercises, journaling, or grounding techniques, and work through approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or narrative therapy to make sense of your experience.
Whether you’re coping with a recent loss or unresolved grief from the past, sessions are tailored to your needs, helping you honor your loss, build resilience, and move forward in a meaningful way.
