Grief & Loss
Grief and loss can arise from the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, health changes, or major life shifts. Grief is deeply personal and does not follow a fixed timeline. Many people experience waves of emotion, numbness, or disorientation long after a loss. While conventional care may focus on coping strategies, holistic and integrative approaches often support the emotional, physical, and existential aspects of grief. This page explores non-diagnostic support options for grief and loss.
What This Condition Often Feels Like
- Sadness, numbness, or emotional waves
- Fatigue or reduced motivation
- Difficulty concentrating or focusing

- Desire for meaning or understanding after loss
When Conventional Care Isn’t Enough
Many people grieving feel pressure to “move on” before they are ready. Holistic approaches can complement other care by honoring grief as a process, supporting nervous system regulation, and creating space for integration rather than resolution.
