Grief & Loss Counseling in Conneaut Lake, PA

“I don’t know how to move forward.”

Grief can feel all-consuming. You may have lost someone dear to you, experienced a painful life transition, or simply feel like the ground beneath you has shifted. Even when others think you should be "moving on," you're still trying to make sense of what life looks like now.

At Karima Mental Health, we recognize that grief is deeply personal and often nonlinear. Whether you're grieving a loved one, a relationship, your health, or a version of your life that no longer exists, therapy can help you process your pain and begin to heal at your own pace.

Understanding Grief & Loss

Grief is a natural response to deep loss, and it looks different for everyone. The death of a loved one often brings unimaginable pain, leaving a lasting impact on your heart, your identity, and your everyday life. Whether the loss was sudden, expected, or complicated, it can feel like the world has shifted beneath you.

Grief doesn’t always stem from death. You might also be grieving a relationship that’s ended, a life transition you weren’t prepared for, or a dream that no longer feels possible. A diagnosis of a chronic or terminal illness, either your own or a loved one’s, can also bring waves of sadness, fear, and mourning.

No matter what you're carrying, your grief is valid. At Karima Mental Health Services, we offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where your unique experience is honored. Together, we can help you process your loss, reconnect with yourself, and move toward healing, on your terms.
