I’m with you.

Grief isn’t always about losing someone to death—it can arise from the end of a relationship, a life transition, or even the loss of a long-held dream. It can be mourning the version of yourself you never got to be, the future you thought you’d have, or the connections that never quite fit the way you longed for.

It can feel like the ground beneath you has shifted, leaving you disoriented and unsure of your footing. Some days, you barely feel anything. Other days, it’s all you can do to shuffle your feet under the weight of an unrelenting fog of anguish, or keep the internal rage from boiling over. The tendency to repeatedly question if you’re being dramatic or unreasonable is worsened by the sense that no one else really understands the weight of what you’re carrying. You can’t go back to what was, and the way forward seems shrouded in certain darkness.

You’re not alone

There is a space where you can be supported both in meaning-making and in needing to give no explanation.

Grief can be jagged and raw beyond words. Ambivalence, paradox, and opposing feelings are normal. The grief of neurodivergence can be particularly complex—mourning the energy spent masking, the friendships that didn’t last, the childhood needs that weren’t met, the ways you’ve been misunderstood. Intergenerational trauma, high-conflict relationships, childhood neglect, and unspoken expectations all weave into the tapestry of loss, making it difficult to untangle what you’re holding.

There’s no one right way to move through this. You deserve support that honors your rhythms. Therapy can offer a space to carry what matters and transform what you need to, in your own way and in your own time.
