    Grief Therapy Can Help You Move Forward Without Letting Go of Love.

     

    Healing doesn’t mean forgetting – it means finding a way forward from your loss with love.

    Grief can shape your days in ways you didn’t anticipate. The weight of grief can appear in quiet moments or social settings, leaving you feeling stuck in sadness, longing, or disbelief. You might find yourself stuck in a cycle of sadness, longing, guilt, or disbelief that just doesn’t seem to lift – no end in sight. Others may expect you to “move on,” with time but inside, you can’t seem to let go.

    If your grief has lingered – pausing life, dulling purpose, and pain that can feel unrelenting – it’s time to reach out. Our team of therapists at Therapy Villa can help you find your way back to living.

    So, What is Complicated Grief or Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD)?

    Grief is natural. And the old cliché may be right about time healing everything. But, when intense longing, pain, or emotional paralysis doesn’t lessen with time, it may be Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD) – a persistent form of grief that makes moving forward feel impossible.

    Prolonged Grief Disorder includes:

    Intense Yearning

    A deep longing for your loved one that doesn’t fade with time.

    Persistent Guilt or Regret

    Struggling with “what ifs” or disbelief about the loss.

    Loss of Identity

    Feeling unsure of who you are or what your purpose is without them.

    Avoidance

    Steering clear of people, places, or reminders that bring up the pain.

    Difficulty Imagining the Future

    Feeling stuck, unable to see a path forward.

    Ongoing Emotional Pain

    Grief that feels constant and continues to disrupt daily life.

    It’s different from depression, it is your grief that has become chronic and complicated. Prolonged Grief Disorder may arise in case of an expected loss, but it can also feel more intense your loss is sudden or unexpected. In either circumstances, healing is possible. And, healing isn’t about forgetting, it’s about integration.

    Recognizing Grief vs. PGD

    You are not ‘too soft’ – you’re grieving deeply.
