The current understanding in the broad field of psychotherapy as regards grief and grieving is alot different than it was a couple decades ago. It used to be believed that the stages of grieving the death of a loved one or one’s own impending death proposed by Kubler-Ross were a more or less predictable formula that played out for everyone. Today it is generally believed that though those same stages may appear frequently and in a similar order for many people, that each individual has a unique way of grieving that is applicable to their personality, history and the context around their loss. Some people skip stages or return to earlier stages of grieving before reaching Acceptance etc.

For some, the loss they experience is so deep that they continue to feel sadness over the course of their lives, as certain reminders of the loved one trigger the depth of feeling that remains with them. This is okay, and understanding that your own path of grief is yours to tread I will accompany you wherever you are in your own process with patience and understanding, working to help you become more functional and fully yourself in your daily life as you learn to live with loss, and when necessary to help you put it behind you.
