What Are the 7 Stages of Grief?

The stages of grief offer insight into the emotional journey many people experience after a loss:

  1. Shock and Denial: Initial disbelief or numbness following a loss.

  2. Pain and Guilt: Intense sadness and possible feelings of guilt for what was said or left unsaid.

  3. Anger and Bargaining: Feelings of frustration or attempts to regain control through “if only” statements.

  4. Depression and Reflection: A deeper sense of sadness as the reality of the loss sets in.

  5. The Upward Turn: A gradual shift toward acceptance and a sense of stability.

  6. Reconstruction and Working Through: Beginning to rebuild your life and find new meaning.

  7. Acceptance and Hope: A sense of peace and the ability to focus on positive memories.

Frequently Asked Questions About Anxiety Therapy

Service-Related Questions

  • Yes! All therapy sessions, including grief therapy, are offered virtually, allowing you to receive support from the comfort of your own home.

  • We offer sliding-scale fees based on income and flexible payment options to ensure therapy is accessible for everyone. Healing should never be out of reach, especially during such tender times.

  • There’s no set timeline for grief. Some clients attend for a few months, others for longer. We move at your pace, whether you're seeking support through acute loss or navigating long-term adjustment.

  • Not at all. Grief can come from many life transitions—divorce, job loss, health challenges, or the end of a significant chapter. If you're mourning something meaningful, therapy can help.

Therapy Process & Outcomes

  • You’ll have space to talk freely about your loss and how it’s impacting you. Sessions might include storytelling, exploring memories, managing overwhelming emotions, and learning coping tools. We meet you wherever you are in your journey.

  • Absolutely. Grief can show up as emotional flatness, irritability, guilt, or even confusion. Whatever you're feeling—or not feeling—is valid. Therapy helps you understand and process your unique experience.

  • Our goal isn’t to move on, but to move forward—with your loss integrated into your life in a way that honors your love, memory, and growth. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting; it means learning to live again, with support.

Common Concerns & Misconceptions

  • There’s no expiration date on grief. Whether your loss was recent or years ago, if you’re struggling, it’s okay to seek support. Your grief is valid, no matter how much time has passed.

  • Grief isn’t a competition. If your pain is impacting your well-being, relationships, or daily life, that’s reason enough. You deserve support just as much as anyone else.

  • That’s completely okay. Tears are welcome here. Therapy is a safe space to feel everything you’ve been holding in—without judgment, pressure, or shame.

  • Many people feel this way. But facing your emotions gently, with guidance, actually makes the burden lighter. You don’t have to go through it alone.

  • It’s common for family members to process grief in different ways. Some may want to talk, while others withdraw. This can lead to tension, miscommunication, or feeling alone even when you’re together. If your grief is impacting your relationships at home, family therapy can help open up honest conversations, bridge emotional gaps, and strengthen your support system. Grieving doesn’t have to pull your family apart, it can become something you heal through together.
