Someone you love dies.  You now feel like part of you has died too.  Your whole world has changed and you are struggling to keep your sanity.  The emotional pain is so intense and you pray it will go away but it stays with you.  Why does it hurt so much?  When will the pain go away?  Why did this happen?  There are so many questions with no answers.  Life as you knew it is gone and part of you knows it will never come back.  

 

       What can Grief Therapy do for you?

  • You can find relief from your pain.
  • You will learn to express all the emotions involved in your grief.
  • You will learn that you are not alone and you are not going crazy.
  • You will be allowed to talk openly about your loved one and the relationship you had with this person.
  • You can resolve issues from the past.
  • You can find hope and purpose again.
  • You can learn to adjust to a new life without your loved one.

 

Leigh Peregoy, LCSW is a grief specialist with a private practice providing individual, couples, and group therapy for grief, loss, and life transitions.

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

  To One In Sorrow
Let me come in where you are weeping, friend,
     And let me take your hand.
I who have known a sorrow such as yours,
     I can understand.
Let me come in.  I would be very still
     beside you in your grief;
I would not bid you cease your weeping, friend,
     Tears bring relief.
Let me come in---I would only breathe a prayer,
     And hold your hand,
For I have known a sorrow such as yours,
      And understand.
From "Songs Of Hope" by Grace Noll Crowell
