Grief Counseling in Lyons, Oregon
I help those struggling with the pain of loss to work through their emotions and find a way to move forward.
Losing someone close can feel like you're stuck in a storm with no way out. The sadness is heavy, and it’s hard to focus or even think about the future. You might feel overwhelmed by waves of emotions that don’t seem to stop. It’s exhausting, and you may feel like you’re facing this pain all on your own.
These feelings can creep into every part of your life, your relationships, your work, even how you see yourself. The numbness might make you feel stuck, while the anxiety can turn everyday tasks into a struggle. You might lie awake at night, replaying memories or feeling trapped in a cycle of anger and confusion. It’s like you’re spinning your wheels and can’t move forward.
With the right support, we can work through this together, step by step. Therapy can help you process your loss and find that path forward.

What is Grief?
Grief is a natural reaction to loss, whether it’s losing a loved one, ending a relationship, or facing a big change in life. It’s a mix of emotions that can include sadness, anger, confusion, and sometimes even relief. Grief can touch every part of your life. Everything from how you feel physically, how you connect with others, and how you handle your daily routine. Everyone grieves in their own way, and there’s no right or wrong way to go through it. The emotions come and go, are hard some days and not so hard on others, and that’s okay.
Grief goes beyond feeling sad, it can also affect your body, like making you feel tired, changing your appetite, or making it hard to sleep. It might impact your relationships or work, making everything feel harder. It’s important to know that grieving is a normal part of life. Getting support doesn’t take the pain away, but it helps you understand your feelings and prevents them from getting the best of you.
Why Grief Counseling is Important
Grief counseling offers a safe, compassionate space to navigate the overwhelming emotions of loss. When you're grieving, it’s hard to make sense of your feelings, and you may feel lost and alone. A grief counselor walks with you, helping you understand your emotions and find healthy ways to cope. You’ll learn that what you’re experiencing is normal, and you’ll gain tools to manage your grief.
Without support, grief can feel isolating and endless. You don’t have to face it alone. Together, we can help you find meaning, rebuild your life, and move forward while honoring the person or situation you've lost. This is an essential step toward healing and finding hope again.
