Grief isn’t a disorder; it’s a hard adjustment. Care focuses on stabilizing the day-to-day (sleep, appetite, responsibilities), educating about the natural ebb and flow of grief, and pacing between two tasks: turning toward the loss (memories, emotions, unfinished conversations) and turning toward restoration (roles, routines, community). Expect work on guilt, anger, numbness, and “what ifs,” plus meaning-making, continuing-bonds practices, and planning for triggers and anniversaries. When trauma is intertwined, we add targeted exposure and grounding so reminders hurt less over time. If grief is stuck and severely impairing, we screen for prolonged grief and use structured, evidence-based interventions. The aim is a life that honors the loss while restoring capacity, connection, and purpose. Inclusive of all losses and attentive to culture and spiritual beliefs.
