It is a form of therapy that supports individuals in processing the emotional pain and life changes that follow the death of a loved one or other significant losses such as divorce, miscarriage, job loss, or loss of health or identity.
The goal is not to “move on” quickly, but to help individuals navigate grief in a healthy, personal, and meaningful way. Through a safe and compassionate space, clients explore their emotions, adjust to life after the loss, and find ways to honor their connection while slowly rebuilding.
The psychologist may use approaches like narrative therapy, person-centered therapy, or meaning-making techniques to support healing.
