Center Grief Support For Quarterlifers

 With a few exceptions, you probably didn’t expect to face the death of a loved one when you were in your twenties or thirties.

Because grieving a death is non-normative during this phase of life, a grieving quarterlifer is apt to feel like their peers don’t understand.

Additionally, it can be challenging to find resources and help for grieving young adults.

As a 25 year-old grieving client expressed, “my friends don’t know how to handle my sadness. I feel so alone . . . like everyone is tiptoeing around me.”

Experiences with grief can be multi-layered and complicated. Grieving the death of someone close to us, whether from COVID-19 or another cause, poses unique challenges during young adulthood and the quarterlife period.

In grief counseling at QLC, you will work 1:1 with an experienced grief counselor as you learn about the grief process and the tasks of mourning. We also offer a grief support group “Grief Group for Quarterlifers” that meets online for 4 weeks.

The Grief Group for Quarterlifers is perfect for you if:

  • You have lost a loved one in the past two years
  • You are unsure how to navigate life while grieving
  • You feel like your friends don’t really get it
  • You want to feel less alone in your grief
  • You are open to self-reflection

By the end of this support group, you will have:

  • Knowledge about the grief process and reactions to trauma,
  • Insights about your own personal grief journey
  • New coping skills
  • Support from other quarterlifers who are grieving

Coping with Loss During the Holiday Season

  The past or anticipated death of someone we love can be especially difficult during the holiday season, a time when many people around us are celebrating with close family and friends. Rather than being a time of celebration, it can sometimes become filled with sadness, longing, and emptiness. Here are some tips to help you  get through this holiday season : Allow yourself to acknowledge that this time of year might be different or difficult and that it’s okay for it to feel this way. Make a plan for where, when, and with whom you want to celebrate the holiday. You might want to change your traditions or plans to accommodate the fact that this year feels different and you might need more/different support. Try to anticipate and communicate your needs to others you will be with during the holidays. Consider picking out a gift for yourself that reminds you of the person you’ve lost (favorite music, a hobby you’ve shared, picture frame, charm or ornament, etc.). Give yourself p...

Things You Should Talk About in Therapy

Image
If you’re new to therapy, you probably have some questions about how it works. One of the  most common questions  we get at QLC is “what should I talk about in therapy?”  Here are 5 helpful ideas to get you started. 1. Talk about how you decided to begin therapy. Did something happen recently that led you to seek counseling? What have you been struggling with? Have you been thinking about doing this for a long time? Did a friend or family member encourage you to begin therapy?) 2. Share your feelings about beginning therapy. Are you excited, nervous, ambivalent, angry, distracted? How does your body feel? Are you thirsty, hungry, tense? 3. Share how you feel now that you’ve arrived to your counseling session. Were you stressed out trying to find the office? Did you arrive on time? Where you rushed? Is the appointment how you thought it would be? Are you feeling more nervous or less nervous now that you’re there? Are you physically comfortable in the office?...
