Grief and loss is all around us. Whether a death-related loss or not, at Ardent Grove we understand the many layers and complexities of loss. While grief and loss can take a toll on our mental health and resemble many other mental health disorders, the treatment is also very different from other mental health needs. Grieving is not something that needs to be fixed. Many people are surprised and even ashamed to admit the many differing emotions arising out of their grief. You may feel that you are “going crazy” or that “you are a bad person” for having the feelings you are having in your grief. There are lots of “should's” and “supposed to's” in our world that keep grieving people stuck. Our therapists can help hold space for your many emotions and help you to make sense of what is coming up in your own grief processing. They can help you to get the support and resources that you need to make it through this challenging time while feeling less isolated and alone.
