Counselling for Other Losses and Life Transitions
The Weight of Unseen Loss
Not every loss looks the same. Some losses are visible and widely recognized — while others are quiet, invisible, or minimized. You might be grieving the loss of a pet, a job, a dream, a relationship, your health, or an ability you once had.
Sometimes it’s not the words we hear, but the silences that speak loudest. With certain kinds of losses, the compassionate responses fade quickly, and we’re left carrying the weight quietly. Over time, it can feel like there’s less room for your grief, as though you should tuck it away — even while it’s still so present inside you.
But here’s the truth: if your loss mattered to you, it matters.
When Others Don’t Understand, You Still Deserve Support.
Support for Grief Beyond Bereavement
Loss isn’t always about death, it can be the end of a relationship, a job, or a major life change. Sarah Lewis Counselling offers therapy for grief, transition, and change, helping you move forward with clarity and compassion. In-person sessions are available in Vancouver and online across British Columbia.
Seeing the Value of Your Loss
Navigate Change and Uncertainty with Compassionate Guidance
Society doesn’t always know how to respond to grief — especially when it doesn’t fit into the usual categories. But the value of a loss isn’t determined by society. It’s determined by you.
If you are hurting, if you are missing something that was important in your life, then your grief is real. You are worthy of support, compassion, and care. Your loss deserves to be honored.
The Way I Support You
Available In-Person in Vancouver and Online Across B.C.
In my work with clients, I approach all grief the same way: respectfully and compassionately. Together, we’ll:
- Create space to honor your loss and what its presence meant in your life.
- Acknowledge the reality of change — how the future you imagined now looks different.
- Explore meaning and action if and when it feels right — asking what this loss taught you, and what you want to carry with you moving forward.
- Move at your pace — knowing that grief doesn’t follow a straight timeline.
Finding a Way Forward
Loss comes in many forms, and every kind of grief deserves a place to be seen and heard. You don’t have to minimize your pain or prove its worth.
Your grief is valid. You don’t have to face it alone.
I’m here to walk with you.
I would love to meet you.
