Is what I’m feeling a normal part of grief?

There’s no right or wrong way to grieve. Waves of sadness, anger, numbness, or relief can all be part of a normal grief process.

Why does my grief come and go in waves?

Grief isn’t linear. Feelings often rise and fall, and certain dates or reminders can bring them back. Therapy helps you ride those waves with support.

What if it’s been a long time and I still feel stuck?

Some people experience complicated or prolonged grief. You’re not doing it wrong—support can help you move through it at your own pace.

Do I need a specific kind of loss to come to grief therapy?

No. We support many forms of loss—death of a loved one, miscarriage, relationship or identity losses, health changes, and more. If it feels heavy, it’s valid.

Grief Therapy That Holds Space for You

Grief takes many forms — sadness, anger, numbness, or exhaustion. Whatever your loss looks like, you don’t have to move through it alone. Our therapists provide compassionate, trauma-trained support for navigating grief.

Does this sound like you?

Feeling waves of sadness, anger, or emptiness that won’t let up
Struggling to adjust to life after losing someone or something important
Numbness, guilt, or regret that feels impossible to shake
Friends or family who “don’t understand” why you’re still grieving
Wondering if what you’re feeling is “normal” — or if it will ever get easier

If this feels familiar, grief therapy can give you space to process and support as you heal at your own pace.

Our Approach to Grief Therapy

We’ll work together to:

Honour your unique grief story without judgment or timelines
Explore emotions like sadness, anger, guilt, or relief
Build coping tools for navigating waves of grief when they arise
Support you through life transitions, anniversaries, or milestones
Help you find ways to hold both memory and meaning as you move forward

What to Expect

In your first session, we’ll:

Explore your loss and how it’s affecting your daily life
Validate your experience without rushing or minimizing it
Begin creating small tools and practices to help you cope

You’ll leave with support, clarity, and reassurance that your grief is welcome here.

There’s No “Right Way” to Grieve

Grief isn’t something you “get over.” It’s something you learn to carry, and it looks different for everyone. Some days it feels heavy; others, it feels numb.

At Fika, we believe grief is not a problem to solve but a journey to move through. Therapy gives you a safe place to honour your loss, find your footing, and create space for healing.

Modalities We Use

EMDR, ACT, Polyvagal-informed therapy, mindfulness, expressive arts, breathwork, attachment based, and more.
