Inside Passage Counseling Can Help
Your Return to Hope Starts HERE.
Grief is a deeply personal journey—one that can feel isolating, overwhelming, and unpredictable. Some days, the loss feels like a heavy weight you carry; other days, it may catch you off guard in quiet moments. Maybe you’re struggling to make sense of life without someone you love, feeling stuck in sadness, or unsure how to move forward while still honoring what you’ve lost.
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Grief has no timeline, no “right way” to process it, and it doesn’t mean forgetting—it means learning how to carry on in the face of loss.
With the right support, you can navigate this difficult path with compassion for yourself. Therapy can provide the space to express your emotions, find meaning in your loss, and gently rediscover a sense of hope and purpose.
At Inside Passage Counseling, we walk alongside you as you process your grief in your own way, at your own pace.

Grief is a highly individual process without a set timeline. The duration and intensity can vary based on factors such as the nature of the loss, personal coping mechanisms, and support systems. It’s important to allow oneself to grieve without adhering to societal expectations about how long it “should” last.
While grief is a natural response to loss, some individuals may experience complicated grief, characterized by persistent and intense feelings that interfere with daily functioning. Signs include:
- Difficulty accepting the reality of the loss
- Intense sorrow or pain that doesn’t diminish over time
- Avoidance of reminders of the deceased
- Inability to move forward with life
If these symptoms persist, we can help.
Therapy provides a structured environment to process emotions associated with loss. Grief counseling can help individuals understand and navigate their feelings, develop coping strategies, and find ways to honor their loved ones’ memories. Therapists may use various approaches, including narrative therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices, tailored to the individual’s needs.
