Grief Counseling

Healing from the loss your parent

Grief Counseling Columbia, MO

You’ve lost your parent.

You wake up and are constantly reminded of them. You keep thinking the exhaustion, the tears, guilt, and the anger will start to get better with time, at 3 months, at 6 months. But, in reality, it feels like it is getting worse with each passing day. You don't like living the way you are living, and you are scared of the person you are becoming.

Part of you feels like what’s the point of life?

Work has become a chore, and you would rather not be there. You find yourself being really upset with your partner, coworkers, friends, and even the cashier at the gas station. You find yourself questioning everything about life, and it feels like nothing is the way it was. You even wonder if you are on the right track to having the life you want. Life wasn’t supposed to be this way.

Nobody seems to be able to help.

Your partner, friends, and people at work see your sadness and anger, and they feel like you are not as close to them as before your parent died. They have been telling you counseling may help, but it bothers you to open up to someone. After all, you’re not crazy, your parent just died.
