grief therapy
Loss processing sessions
Grief therapy is professional counseling that helps people process loss—typically the death of a loved one, but also divorce, job loss, or other significant life changes.
A therapist guides someone through the stages and emotions of mourning: She started grief therapy after her husband died.
The goal is not to eliminate grief but to help someone integrate loss into their life and function again.
