Grief is the experience of coping with loss. Most of us think of grief as happening in the painful period following the death of a loved one or pet.

An Approach to Heal From Loss
One may also grieve their own loss of life as they prepare for death. People diagnosed with terminal illness often grieve the loss of experiences and things that they can no longer achieve. Grief can be varied and complex — everyone grieves in their own way, in their own timing, but sometimes working through grief requires professional help.
If grief is interfering with your ability to live your life, or your symptoms have not improved, it may be time to reach out to a professional. At Anxiety Treatment Services, we help you process often confusing and conflicting emotions including feelings of guilt, anger, regret, apathy, confusion, self-blame, sadness, and relief.
You don't have to carry grief alone.
