Grief and Loss
In-person and Virtual Therapy in Texas
“What do you get out of therapy for grief and loss? A sense of freedom.”
Sarah Fuhrmeister, LPC Associate
This can’t be real.
In a matter of moments, 5 words have changed your life forever.
“I’m sorry to tell you”…This has got to be a nightmare.
You’d give anything for what follows to not be true.
Losing a job you put everything into, a loyal pet who was practically family, or a home filled with all those memories.
And then there's the loss of someone who meant everything to you. It all feels so hopeless.
The coulda, shoulda, woulda’s are the first thing to wake you up in the morning. Some days, you just can't sleep.
Talking about any of this just feels impossible. You’re afraid one word might just completely break you.
Grief Hangover
But guess what? You didn't fall apart. You’re still standing strong. This loss didn't break you.
Thanks to therapy, I’m taking things one day at a time, trying to figure out this "new normal" that you never asked for.
You’ve realized that even in all that pain, there's a kind of freedom. Healing doesn't happen all at once - it comes in waves. And it's okay to be sad sometimes.
Missing them doesn’t have to go away for you to feel better.
You’ve found ways to keep your loved ones close, feeling happy when you remember all the good times you had together.
Familiar territory.
Having experienced the heartache of losing a parent myself, I truly understand how tough it can be.
That's why this work holds such deep meaning for me. It feels more like a calling to me.
I've witnessed how powerful it is to grieve and rebuild your life after such a significant loss. I've walked alongside many clients as they faced their own struggles with grief.
As your therapist, I'll be by your side in those moments that bring you to your knees, offering my support and guidance to help you find little moments of peace and relief in your grief.
