Grief, Loss & Life Transitions | Therapy & Support
You are not alone.
Grief is one of the most profound emotions we experience as humans, and navigating its complex layers can feel overwhelming. Whether you're grieving the loss of a loved one, a pregnancy, a relationship, or any other significant life change, you don't have to go through it alone.
At Anna C. Maling Therapy, I provide a safe, compassionate space for you to process your grief, at your own pace, with tailored support that meets your unique needs.
What is Grief?
Grief isn’t just sadness—it’s a full-body experience that can affect you emotionally, physically, and mentally. It’s a response to any form of loss, not just death, and each person’s journey with grief is unique. You may feel shock, anger, guilt, relief, or even numbness. These feelings are normal, and I’m here to help you make sense of them while providing the tools to move through this difficult time.
Miscarriage, TFMR, & Infant Loss Therapy
Losing a pregnancy or an infant is a profound and deeply personal grief. You might feel heartbreak, guilt, anger, or numbness—all of it is valid. Whether your loss was recent or years ago, you deserve space to process it with care and support.
Therapy for miscarriage, TFMR (termination for medical reasons), and infant loss can help with:
Processing grief in your own time and way
Coping with feelings of guilt, isolation, or anger
Navigating relationships and communication with loved ones
Finding ways to honor your loss while moving forward
Your loss matters, and you don’t have to go through it alone.
After-Abortion Emotional Support
Abortion is a complex experience that can bring relief, grief, or a mix of emotions all at once. Regardless of your reasons or circumstances, your feelings are valid, and you deserve a nonjudgmental space to process them.
After-abortion support can help if you:
Feel conflicted, sad, relieved, or uncertain
Struggle with societal stigma or lack of understanding from loved ones
Want to explore how this experience fits into your personal story
Need a space to process without judgment
Your emotions deserve care and attention, no matter what they are. Explore after-abortion counseling.
Coping with the Death of a Loved One
Losing someone close to you can feel like the ground has shifted beneath your feet. Grief doesn’t follow a timeline, and it can show up in unexpected ways—sometimes when you least expect it.
Grief counseling can support you if:
You’re struggling to process the reality of your loss
You feel stuck, numb, or overwhelmed by emotions
Life feels empty, disconnected, or difficult to navigate
You need a space where your grief is acknowledged and understood
There’s no “right” way to grieve, but you don’t have to go through it alone. Find support for grief and loss.
Disenfranchised Grief Support
Some losses aren’t openly acknowledged by society, making grief feel even more isolating. Disenfranchised grief can happen with losses like estrangement, infertility, loss of a pet, or an identity shift. It’s still real, and it still matters.
Therapy for disenfranchised grief can help with:
Validating your grief, even if others don’t recognize it
Understanding why certain losses feel uniquely difficult
Processing feelings of invisibility, guilt, or loneliness
Finding ways to heal and move forward on your terms
If your grief feels unseen, I see you. Reach out for support.
You Don’t Have to Grieve Alone
Grief is personal, unpredictable, and sometimes overwhelming—but you don’t have to carry it alone. Whether you need a space to talk, tools to cope, or just someone who understands, I’m here to help.
