Grief + Loss
Grief can feel like the ground has been pulled out from under you. Some days, you might feel waves of sadness that take your breath away; other days, you might feel numb and wonder why you aren’t crying. Your mind may replay moments over and over — the “what ifs,” the things left unsaid, the ache of missing someone or something that can’t come back. Everyday routines feel strange, conversations feel harder, and even small decisions take effort. You might notice pulling away from friends, feeling irritable for no reason, or losing interest in things that used to matter. Grief doesn’t follow a straight line — it comes in waves, sometimes when you least expect it — and it can leave you wondering who you are without what you’ve lost.
When Loss Changes Everything
At WanderWell Therapy, we walk alongside you as you learn to live with your loss in a way that feels gentler and more manageable. Together, we make space for the sadness, anger, love, and memories — all the complicated pieces that come with grief. Time outdoors and mindful movement can help bring moments of calm when words feel too heavy. Over time, the sharp edges of grief begin to soften. You may start to feel more connected again, able to find comfort in memories rather than pain, and notice glimpses of peace and meaning returning to your days. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting — it means learning how to carry the loss while still allowing life, love, and joy to return.
