MHA screened 1.5 million Americans from January to September 2020. They found that 8 our of 10 respondents were experiencing “moderate to severe” symptoms of anxiety and depression. The National Institute for Mental Health notes that more than 16 million Americans report having had a depressive episode at least once in their lives. These numbers are increased exponentially when you also consider those who may experience more chronic mild depression, postpartum depression, grief, loss, or situationally caused depressive episodes. You may not hear people talk about it much, but most people are familiar with the feeling of depression and many have sought treatment for it at some point in their lives. Depression is not a weakness. Being depressed does not mean that you lack the willpower to change. It does not mean that you are not strong enough to handle what life throws your way. Depression is not a character flaw. https://www.growthforliving.com/grief-loss-couseling-therapy daily 0.75 2026-03-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605b7e37fce2dc56b70eda4b/1621512026836-AB24QI79ML5LLCSJDHY8/Loch+Skye1+%28resized+Use+this+one%29.jpg Grief & Loss - “No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.” — C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605b7e37fce2dc56b70eda4b/1618510216752-6FQNXS35P3KOUJDWQQP6/ocean+sunrise+with+birds.jfif Grief & Loss - You Don’t Have to Do This Alone We live in a death-denying culture where people are expected to ‘get over’ their loss quickly which can be hurtful as you walk through the grieving process. I recognize the many ways that people grieve and am here to support your right to grieve in your own unique way. Your grief is not a problem to be fixed, rather it is to be lovingly tended to. As you move forward you will begin to remember with more love than pain.
