Grief Looks Different for Everyone—and That's Okay

Losing someone or something important changes everything. Whether it's the death of a loved one, a divorce, a miscarriage, or the loss of a job or way of life, grief is the heart’s natural response to deep loss. It can hit suddenly or unfold slowly over time. Some days it feels like a wave; other days, like a fog you can't shake.

At Bear Company Counseling in Omaha, we hold space for grief in all its forms. We offer compassionate, non-judgmental support for adults, teens, and children experiencing the pain of loss—and we walk with you toward healing in a way that honors your unique process.

Signs You Might Be Struggling with Grief

Grief isn’t always about tears. It can show up emotionally, physically, and behaviorally. You or your child may be experiencing:

• Numbness or shock

• Trouble sleeping or eating

• Feeling angry, guilty, or regretful

• Withdrawing from others

• Trouble focusing or remembering things

• Loss of interest in daily life

• Crying easily or feeling emotionally detached

• Anxiety about the future or your identity

There is no "right" way to grieve. Whatever you're feeling is valid—and you don’t have to carry it alone.

Types of Loss We Support

Grief can stem from many life events, including:

• Death of a family member, partner, or friend

• Loss of a child, miscarriage, or infertility

• Loss of a pet

• Divorce, separation, or estrangement

• Major health diagnosis (yours or a loved one's)

• Moving, job loss, or life transitions

• Loss of faith, identity, or sense of purpose

We also understand that past losses can resurface during new transitions. We’re here to help you process what’s unresolved and find steadier footing.

Our Grief Counseling Approach

Our Omaha-based therapists offer a supportive, gentle approach that meets you where you are. We may incorporate:

• Narrative Therapy: Helping you make sense of your story and your loss.

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): For processing guilt, intrusive thoughts, or depressive symptoms.

• EMDR or Brainspotting: If trauma is intertwined with your grief experience.

• Play Therapy & Creative Expression: Especially for children and teens to process loss in developmentally appropriate ways.

• Faith-Based Counseling: If your spirituality is part of your healing journey.

There’s no timeline for grief. We’re not here to rush your process—we’re here to help you walk through it with care and support.
