Grief & Bereavement
Support for painful emotional, physical, and practical changes following a death or other significant loss.
Overview of Grief & Bereavement
Grief is a natural response to loss and does not follow a fixed schedule. It can include sadness, anger, guilt, numbness, relief, sleep changes, and moments of connection or joy.
Professional care may help when grief feels stuck, daily functioning has become difficult, or depression, trauma, or safety concerns are present.
Common symptoms
- Longing, sadness, or emotional numbness
- Guilt, anger, or disbelief
- Changes in sleep and appetite
- Difficulty concentrating
- Withdrawal or loss of interest
- Physical heaviness or fatigue
How it can affect daily life
Loss can disrupt identity, routines, relationships, finances, and a sense of safety. Anniversaries and reminders may bring intense waves of emotion.
When to seek professional help
- You are unable to manage basic daily needs
- Grief remains intensely disabling or is getting worse
- You have persistent hopelessness, substance misuse, or thoughts of self harm
How Alliance evaluates and treats Grief & Bereavement
We listen to the story of the loss and assess mood, trauma symptoms, sleep, health, and safety. We can provide medication management for a related condition and connect you with grief focused therapy or community support.
