Therapy at the Threshold: Where Mortality, Meaning & Presence Meet

 If someone you love has recently died, the world can feel unreal. Grief in the early days and months may bring shock, numbness, anger, relief, guilt, or disorientation. This space offers steady support as you move through the rawness of loss without being rushed or pressured to “be strong.” 

 Loss is not only emotional — it is administrative. Funeral planning, estate decisions, organizing paperwork, navigating family dynamics, and making choices under pressure can feel overwhelming when your nervous system is already taxed. Therapy can provide clarity, containment, and steady thinking during seasons that demand both heart and logistics. 

 Some losses are minimized, misunderstood, or unsupported — estranged relationships, complex grief involving a perpetrator, ambiguous loss, former partners, job loss, miscarriages, spiritual loss, identity shifts. When grief is unseen, it can feel isolating. This space honors what was real to you. 

 When someone you love is still here, but the future feels uncertain,  grief begins before goodbye. 

Therapy during hospice or end-of-life seasons provides space for dignity, reconciliation, spiritual reflection, and emotional preparation. 

Sometimes the crisis passes.

The scans are clear.
The treatment ends.
Life goes on.

And yet something has shifted.

Caring for someone who is ill can be both sacred and overwhelming. Caregivers often carry invisible grief, exhaustion, resentment, and deep love simultaneously. 

Sometimes nothing is “wrong” and yet mortality feels suddenly close. Thoughts about death, time, legacy, spirituality, meaning, or purpose can feel intrusive or destabilizing. 

The loss of an animal companion can be profound and misunderstood. These bonds are real, embodied, and deeply relational.
