grief & loss

Life inevitably brings loss. Grief is that overwhelming emotion experienced from the pain of losing a loved one. Despite the universality of grief and loss, we rarely feel prepared for the challenges, sadness, and adjustments required when we face the death of a loved one. Unfortunately, in our society grief is often misunderstood and grievers are pressured to return to normal when life is turned upside down. Grief therapy can give you a safe place to express difficult emotions, find ways to honour your loved one, and develop coping skills as you process your grief. Grief can change over time as your life grows around it and you learn that joy and pain can coexist. At Your Road Forward we are honoured to walk with you during your grief journey.

Someone you loved has died: your spouse, your child, your mother or father, your sibling, a close relative, your friend.
Someone you loved died by suicide.
You or someone you love is facing a health crisis where the outcome is unsure or dire.
A beloved pet has died.
You lost something to which you had a strong emotional connection: a relationship, a job, a home, a role.
You are estranged from someone you love and are having difficulty finding meaning and a sense of identity in their absence.
You lost someone a long time ago but recent events have initiated a delayed grief response.
You experienced trauma around the death of a loved one.
You have a loss that no one knows about or does not understand so you feel invalidated or unseen in your grief.
