Grief Counseling With Compassionate Care | Rochester Hills, Clarkston, & Grand Blanc
Grief and loss are universal experiences that can greatly impact our lives. Often, we associate grief solely with the death of a loved one, but it encompasses much more. Significant life changes such as job loss, divorce, relocation, children leaving home, retirement, or a career change can all evoke a grief response. Common symptoms of experiencing grief may include:
- Overwhelming sorrow
- Frustration or resentment about the loss
- Feelings of responsibility for the loss or believing you could have done more
- Worry or anxiety
- Isolation and disconnection from others
- Detachment or disbelief
- Reduced social interactions
- Decreased motivation for everyday tasks
- Avoidance of places or activities that remind you of the loss
- Persistent thoughts about the loss
Understanding these symptoms is an important step in navigating the complex emotions that come with grief.
