# Grief and Loss 

Grief does not close neatly, and it is not a problem to be solved in six weeks.

Death, yes, and also the losses people are told not to grieve: a marriage, a pregnancy, a home, a body that used to work differently, a parent who is still living, a version of the future you had already furnished in your mind.

I work with grieving children, teens, adults and seniors, and with families grieving at different speeds under the same roof.

In This Work

-   Death of a partner, parent, child or friend
-   Anticipatory grief and caregiving
-   Pregnancy and infant loss
-   Ambiguous loss and estrangement
-   Grief in children and teens

Next Step
