Grief Counseling in San Antonio, Texas
Wondering why you can't just get over a loss or the death of a loved one?
Grief can be difficult to process through especially with the complexity of life. People think you should just be over it a few months in. Grief can feel chaotic and stressful all the while you are trying to maintain your job, run your household and move forward with your life. Some people find getting back to work within a week or so helps create some normalcy and help the process. While this can be true, it doesnt change the fact grief continues to be present.
