Therapy & Support
You don’t have to go through this alone.
Therapy was one of the things that helped me begin to find my way through the grief after the loss of a child.
Not every experience felt right, and not every approach worked—but having support, in whatever form, made a difference.
There is no single path through grief. Only what feels right for you.
You don’t have to go through this alone.
Grief after the loss of a child can feel overwhelming and isolating, especially when others don’t fully understand.
Therapy
Talking to someone who understands grief can help create space to process what you’re going through. It doesn’t take the pain away, but it can help you carry it differently over time.
Even having someone simply sit with you in it can make a difference.
EMDR
EMDR was one of the most powerful therapies I experienced. It wasn’t easy—I had to revisit some of the most painful moments—but it helped release the trauma from my body in a way nothing else had. Over time, the intensity of those memories softened, and I no longer felt consumed by them. It showed me that it is possible to move through even the deepest trauma and come out the other side.
Polarity / Energy Work
I also worked with an energy healer who used polarity and other modalities to help move the pain and trauma held in my body. This work focused on opening the flow of energy and gently releasing what had become stuck. It gave me a different kind of understanding, that emotional pain isn’t just something we think about. It’s something we carry physically, and it can be worked through.
Yoga
Yoga became another way for me to move through what I was holding. In the beginning, it was emotional, I often found myself crying during class, which was frustrating at first. But over time, I began to understand that something deeper was happening.
It helped release the physical weight of grief that I didn’t even realize I was carrying. My body slowly began to soften, my breathing changed, and I started to feel a sense of space again.
It wasn’t about doing it perfectly, it was about showing up and allowing whatever needed to come up, to come up.
Bach Flower Remedies
Bach Flower Remedies were another gentle form of support that I found helpful along the way. They are made from flower essences and are designed to support emotional balance, especially during times of stress, grief, or overwhelm.
I was working with someone who was knowledgeable in Bach Flower Remedies and able to guide me in choosing what I needed, which made the process feel simple and supportive. Over time, I also began to get a sense of what felt right for me.
What I appreciated most was how approachable they felt. You don’t need to understand everything about them, you just choose what feels right for where you are emotionally. I often used them during moments when things felt especially heavy or unsettled.
They’re subtle, but for me, they helped take the edge off intense emotions and created a small sense of calm when I needed it most. They can be used alongside anything else you’re doing, and gently support you without feeling like too much.
Vedic Astrology
Vedic astrology offered me a different kind of support. It’s an ancient system that looks at your life through the lens of your birth chart, mapping patterns, timing, and experiences in a way that can bring deeper understanding. For me, it reinforced that there are parts of our path that are beyond our control, and that understanding was incredibly comforting. It gave me a sense of perspective that I hadn’t been able to find anywhere else.
Other Healing
Along the way, I was also drawn to other forms of intuitive and alternative healing. Some of these experiences helped me feel a continued sense of connection and support in ways I hadn’t expected.
I learned to stay open, to possibilities, to guidance, and to the idea that there may be more than what we can see. If something feels like it might help, it’s okay to explore it at your own pace.
Not everything will feel right, and that’s okay.
You don’t have to try everything.
Just start with what feels manageable, and trust yourself to find what helps.
