Finding Support Through Grief and Loss
Losing someone or something significant can be an overwhelming and deeply painful experience. Grief manifests in many ways—emotionally, mentally, and even physically.
Whether you are mourning the loss of a loved one, coping with a major life transition, or struggling with unresolved grief, seeking professional support can provide comfort and guidance during this difficult time.
Dr. Lynn Winsten, a licensed therapist in Berkeley, CA, offers grief and mourning therapy to help individuals process their loss, navigate the emotional waves of bereavement, and find a path forward at their own pace.
Understanding Grief: It’s Different for Everyone
Grief is a deeply personal experience, and no two people go through it in exactly the same way. Some common emotions and reactions to loss include:
- Sadness and depression – Feeling emotionally drained, hopeless, or unmotivated.
- Anger or frustration – Resentment, guilt, or questioning why the loss happened.
- Anxiety and fear – Uncertainty about the future or overwhelming stress.
- Physical symptoms – Fatigue, headaches, body aches, or changes in appetite.
- Isolation and withdrawal – Difficulty engaging in social activities or daily tasks.
If you are experiencing persistent grief that affects your daily life, grief counseling in Berkeley can provide the support needed to help you heal and move forward.
