Feeling shocked, disconnected, or unsure how to take in what happened.

Missing a partner, parent, family member, close friend, or someone whose place in your life was difficult to explain.
A death by suicide, an accident, or an unexpected loss that leaves painful questions alongside the absence.
Divorce, separation, estrangement, or the loss of the closeness and future you believed you would share.
Miscarriage, infertility, pregnancy loss, or grief and complicated questions connected with adoption and foster care.
Chronic illness, caregiving, aging, retirement, or changes in independence and how you understand yourself.
A beloved pet, spiritual community, sense of belonging, or hoped-for life that has no familiar ritual for saying goodbye.
Josette Kehl, LCSW, works with infertility, pregnancy loss, reproductive trauma, and adoption-related concerns. She offers individual support and limited couples work focused on these experiences.
Explore Josette's profileA person may still be living, while the relationship you knew has changed. A future may have ended before anyone else could see how much it meant to you.
There can be layers of grief in estrangement, illness, infertility, divorce, and changes in family life. Counseling offers room to name those layers and talk about their place in your story.
Grief does not follow a checklist or move neatly through stages. You and your counselor can decide what needs attention today. The work may include:
What you miss, what happened, and the feelings you have had little room to express.
Ways to approach hard dates, relationships, responsibilities, and asking for support.
How you want to remember, what still matters, and which choices feel possible today.
A Poem by Cynthia G. Kelley
My grief is like a river—
I have to let it flow,
But I myself determine
Just where the banks will go.Some days the current takes me
In waves of guilt and pain,
But there are always quiet pools
Where I can rest againI crash on rocks of anger ––
My faith seems faint indeed,
But there are other swimmers
Who know that what I needAre loving hands to hold me
When the waters are too swift,
And someone kind to listen
When I just seem to drift.Grief’s river is a process
Of relinquishing the past
By swimming in Hope’s channels
I’ll reach the shore at last.
If Christian faith is important to you, you can invite it into grief counseling. Prayer, Scripture, lament, and conversations about God can have a place alongside the emotional and practical realities of loss.
You can talk about anger, disappointment, doubt, or the difficulty of holding hope while someone you love is gone. You do not need to arrive with an explanation for what happened.
With our licensed counselors, you choose whether faith is central, included occasionally, or left outside the conversation. You are equally welcome to receive counseling without religious integration.
