You Don’t Have to Grieve Alone
When Loss Reshapes Your World
Grief can take many forms, losing a loved one, the end of a relationship, a miscarriage, the death of a pet, or even the loss of a dream, a role, or a version of yourself.
Whatever the source, grief has a way of turning life upside down. Time may keep moving forward, but you may feel frozen, disoriented, or numb.
You may find yourself asking: How do I live with this? Will I ever feel okay again?
There’s no right way to grieve and no timeline. Grief is deeply personal, and so is healing.
Therapy provides a place to feel less alone, understand the shifting emotions of grief, and begin carrying the weight of loss with greater compassion and support.
Understanding Grief & Loss
How It Shows Up & What You Might Notice
Grief doesn’t always look like sadness. It can be raw and hurting, or quiet and hidden. Sometimes it comes in bursts. Sometimes it lingers in the background. And often, it doesn’t match what others expect.
You might notice:
A deep heaviness, numbness, or emotional flatness
Intense sadness, anger, guilt, or confusion
Trouble concentrating or functioning in daily life
Feeling alone, even around others
Shame about how long it’s taking to “move on”
Anxiety or fear about the future without what (or who) you’ve lost
A loss of identity, meaning, or purpose
Changes in sleep, appetite, or physical health
Longing for understanding, peace, or closure that feels out of reach
Grief isn’t something to fix; it’s something to be witnessed, felt, and honored.
Therapy gives you a compassionate space to do just that.
Benefits: What You Can Expect From Grief & Loss Therapy With Us
Grief therapy isn’t about forgetting or “getting over” your loss. It’s about learning to live with it, gently, authentically, and at your own pace.
Over time, therapy may help you:
Feel less alone and more understood in your experience
Begin to process complex emotions like guilt, anger, or regret
Find meaning and healing in your unique grief story
Reconnect with your inner strength, voice, and emotional resilience
Identify and express your needs without shame
Cultivate small moments of relief, hope, and connection
Integrate the loss into your life in a way that honors your love and pain
Feel more grounded and present in the world again
Grief changes us. But you don’t have to navigate that change in isolation.
A Note About Bountiful Health
At Bountiful Health, we offer emotionally attuned, integrative therapy for adults and teens navigating grief, loss, and the many forms that heartbreak can take.
Whether your loss is recent or long ago, named or unspoken, we meet you with warmth, presence, and deep care. We know grief isn’t linear. Some days it feels fresh again. Some days you may just need to sit quietly in the presence of someone who gets it.
Our practice is based in Orinda, CA, and we support clients in Lafayette, Walnut Creek, Oakland, Berkeley, and throughout California via online therapy.
Our Therapeutic Approach
We draw from relational, psychodynamic, trauma-informed, and attachment-based therapy modalities to hold space for your grief in a way that’s compassionate and non-rushed.
Grief is not a problem to solve. It’s a process to move through.
We listen for what matters most: your story, your pain, your love, your longings.
And we support you in finding new ground, not to replace what’s been lost, but to honor it by moving forward in your own time, in your own way.
If you’re carrying grief and want a place to feel supported and seen, you don’t have to wait until it gets “bad enough.” You don’t have to be strong or put-together to start.
