Grief After Losing a Child
Grief after losing a child is often described as one of the most devastating forms of loss. It can bring profound sorrow, numbness, guilt, anger, disorientation, and a sense that life has split into before and after. Parents may also feel isolated because others do not know how to speak about such an immense loss.
Therapy can provide a private place to honor the child, process overwhelming grief, and find support without pressure to move on or minimize what happened.
