Grief and Loss Support Pasadena

Grief and Loss

Grief is a natural response to losing someone significant, whether it’s a parent, partner, child, or another loved one. The emotions that follow loss can be overwhelming, unpredictable, and deeply personal. While grief is not a linear process, having the support of a compassionate mental health professional can make navigating this journey more manageable.
At its core, grief involves adapting to a life without the presence of a loved one. It’s not about “moving on” but about learning to carry the loss in a way that allows for healing and growth.

The Four Tasks of Mourning

Our therapists guide clients through the tasks of mourning, as defined by grief expert J. William Worden:

Accepting the Reality of the Loss:
- Facing the permanence of the loss and its impact on your life.
Processing the Pain of Grief:
- Addressing the emotional and physical pain of loss in a safe, supportive space.
Adjusting to a New Reality:
- Adapting to a world without your loved one while redefining your role and purpose.
Maintaining a Connection While Moving Forward:
- Finding ways to honor the relationship with the deceased while continuing to live meaningfully.
