Grief doesn't follow a timeline, and it doesn't always look the way people expect. Whatever you're carrying, you don't have to justify it or rush through it.
Grief can be loud and consuming, or quiet and hard to name. It can show up years after a loss, or in response to things that don't always get counted as losses: a relationship, a version of yourself, a life you thought you'd have. Whatever shape it takes, it deserves real space.
Grief covers more than death. Ambiguous loss, the kind without a clear ending or acknowledgment, can be the most isolating kind. Pregnancy loss, estrangement, the grief of not getting what you needed from someone who was supposed to give it to you, the mourning of a self that never got to exist: these are real losses.
You don't need a death certificate to deserve support. If something has been lost and you're carrying it, that's enough.
You don't have to justify your grief or prove it meets some threshold. You don't have to be over it by a certain point. Grief doesn't move in stages, and it doesn't resolve on a schedule.
Therapy is a place where grief gets to be what it actually is, not what you think you should be feeling, and not something to push through faster.
I won't give you a framework you have to fit into, and I won't rush you. We'll sit with what's real and make space for what's hard to say out loud. Grief changes over time. So will the work.
