Grief is a personal response to loss. It can show up emotionally, cognitively, physically, and behaviourally, and it can affect day-to-day functioning in ways that feel unfamiliar or isolating.
Loss is not limited to death. People grieve many forms of change, including divorce, relationship endings, job loss, fertility or health-related losses, changes in identity, and the loss of a friendship or community.
At The Cohen Clinic, we provide therapy for adults in Toronto who are grieving and want support to process what happened, make space for complex emotions, and adjust to life after loss.
Grief is the internal experience of loss—your emotions, thoughts, reactions, and changes in daily life. Bereavement is a type of grief specifically related to the death of someone significant.
Grief does not follow a fixed timeline. It often comes in waves and can shift over time, sometimes unexpectedly.
Grief can look different across people and across losses. You may notice:
CAMH notes that grief can affect emotions, thoughts, behaviour, and physical experience, and that people can react in different ways.
Many people have heard grief described as a set of stages. In practice, grief rarely unfolds in a straight line. You might feel “okay” one day and overwhelmed the next, or find that anniversaries, places, and reminders bring grief back strongly.
Therapy helps normalize your experience without forcing you into a timeline or a prescribed sequence.
Grief support can be especially helpful when:
Therapy provides a private, supportive space to process grief without judgement and without pressure to “move on.”
CAMH notes that grief counselling can help people through grief-related difficulties, and that peer support and family therapy can also be helpful in some cases.
At The Cohen Clinic, we support adults navigating many forms of loss. Therapy is paced to your needs and focused on helping you feel more grounded, supported, and able to live alongside grief with less distress and more steadiness.
If you are struggling with grief, support is available. Therapy can help you process the loss, reduce isolation, and move through this period with care.
At The Cohen Clinic, we’re here to listen and support you.
