What Is Grief?

Understanding the Deep Emotional Response to Loss

Grief is more than just sadness. It’s a complex emotional, physical, and psychological response to losing something or someone important to you. Grief is unique to each individual, shaped by your relationship to what you lost and your life experience.

Grief can arise from:

  • The death of a family member, friend, or pet

  • The end of a meaningful relationship, including divorce or breakup

  • Loss of health or independence

  • Job loss or career change

  • Moving to a new place or other major life transitions

While grief often feels painful and isolating, it is also a natural part of healing and adapting. At Heart Mind Soul Practice, we help you navigate grief’s many layers, so you can find ways to live with loss without being overwhelmed by it.

Types of Grief and Loss We Support

At Heart Mind Soul Practice, we recognize that grief takes many forms. Our grief therapists in New York provide specialized support tailored to your unique experience.

Some of the types of grief and loss we help with include:

  • When grief becomes prolonged, intense, or interferes significantly with daily functioning

Our Approach to Grief Therapy

“Healing That Honors Your Experience, at Your Own Pace”

Grief doesn’t have a timeline—and neither should your healing. Our therapists use evidence-based approaches combined with compassionate care to support you in processing your loss safely and meaningfully.

We believe grief therapy should be:

  • Personalized: Tailored to your unique story, culture, and needs

  • Safe: A judgment-free space where your feelings are honored

  • Collaborative: You are the expert of your experience; we walk alongside you

  • Empowering: Helping you develop coping skills and rebuild hope

  • Holistic: Addressing emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of grief

Our skilled therapists are trained in grief counseling modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, and mindfulness techniques to support your healing process.
