Grief and Loss

Illness, loss, and trauma are part of being human, yet they can shake even the strongest among us. Life can change suddenly, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, unsteady, or unsure how to move forward. Loss comes in many forms, including the sudden death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, the loss of a job or a pet, or even the loss of future dreams you imagined with someone. No two losses are the same, and each person's grief is shaped by their story, their connection to what was lost, and the meaning it held in their life.

Grief and trauma can feel isolating, but you do not have to face them alone. At Quincy Therapy, we offer a safe and compassionate space to process your experiences, reflect, and begin to heal. Healing is not about rushing or "getting over it." It is about finding ways to live with what has changed, at your own pace, and with kindness toward yourself.

Non-Death Losses (are still losses)

Loss is not always about death. Non-death losses can be just as painful and life-changing. They include the end of a relationship, divorce, the loss of a job, a move to a new city, a change in health, or even the loss of dreams you once imagined for your future. These experiences can leave us feeling unmoored, grieving a version of life that will never be the same.

Even though non-death losses are often less recognized, the feelings they bring: sadness, anger, confusion, or emptiness, are real and valid. Everyone experiences them differently, shaped by their history, their expectations, and the meaning these losses held. Processing these changes in a supportive space allows you to acknowledge your grief, adjust to new realities, and find ways to move forward while honoring what was lost.
