There is no right or wrong way to grieve
Grief is an individual process and a natural part of life. After a loss, life is not the same, however experiencing your grief will allow you to adjust to life after loss. Often feelings are at odds with one another: profound sadness, relief, guilt, anger, love and heartache. Feelings are natural and, although often painful these are the mechanisms we need to cope and eventually be at peace with loss. We are here to help.
How long does grief last?
Grief lasts as long as it takes to adjust to the changes in your life. The process may take months or even years. Grief has no timetable; and those who have experienced it know, there is no schedule for the thoughts, emotions, behaviors and other responses that may arise.
How do I get started?
When you call (631) 288-1546, you’ll speak with a therapist or social worker, and make an appointment to discuss what is best for you.
