Finding yourself rooted firmly in the middle stages of life, as a woman, can come with a host of challenges. Perhaps you find yourself taking care of aging/dying parents and raising children, while working to keep your career on track. Next thing you know, perimenopause and menopause come knocking at your door and disrupt any tentative grasp you had on the circumstances of your life. Juggling all of this can create tensions or distance in your romantic relationship and even your friendships. What if you gifted yourself 90 minutes weekly to process this with a group of women online?

8-week Bereavement groups are organized around the death of a loved one, not a particular type of loss. Members with different losses form emotional connections that I, as a group leader, could never have predicted. Here is what you can expect by participating in the group: • Meeting virtually facilitated by a compassionate grief professional. • Find the tools you need to help you grow and heal. • Share your experiences, thoughts, and feelings. • Talk with others in the same situation. • Learn more about what to expect from your grief. • Find healing and comfort through the Alexander Technique and relaxation exercises.

My approach to Bereavement is based on attachment theory, because the loss of a significant person in adulthood will evoke the same feelings that accompanied separation from an attachment figure in childhood.

Our pet loss support group offers a compassionate space to grieve, remember, and heal alongside others who understand the depth of the human–animal bond. Together, we gently explore the emotions that come with loss—sadness, guilt, anger, and longing—while honoring the unique relationship you shared with your animal companion. Guided by a trauma-informed approach, the group provides emotional support, practical coping tools, and a sense of connection during a time that can feel isolating.

Grief Support Groups
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
