Grief touches everyone at some point in life—whether through the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or a major life transition. At Stick & Stone Counselling Services in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, we understand that grief can feel overwhelming, isolating, and unpredictable. Our grief and loss therapy offers a supportive, compassionate space to help you process your emotions and find your path toward healing.
Understanding Your Grief Experience
Grief is deeply personal and does not follow a set timeline. You may experience sadness, anger, guilt, numbness, or even relief—and all of these emotions are valid. Our experienced therapists help you explore your feelings without judgment and support you in honouring your loss while rebuilding your life at your own pace.
Whether your grief is recent or longstanding, our therapy is tailored to meet you where you are in the healing journey. We work with individuals facing all types of losses, including bereavement, miscarriage, divorce, job loss, or the decline of a loved one due to illness.
Therapy That Supports Healing and Growth
Grieving is a deeply personal journey that requires gentle support and time to reflect. Our therapists provide a compassionate space where you can share your story, explore your emotions, and begin to find meaning in your loss. This supportive relationship allows you to feel understood as you process pain, rebuild trust in life, and move toward emotional healing.
Our grief and loss therapy focuses on:
- Making space for your emotional experience
- Learning coping strategies to manage grief-related stress
- Redefining your relationship with what has been lost
- Exploring meaning and identity in the aftermath of loss
- Rebuilding hope and resilience
We use evidence-based approaches such as narrative therapy, mindfulness, and emotion-focused therapy to help you find comfort and strength in difficult times.
Tools for Navigating Emotional Pain and Transition
Loss can feel overwhelming, disorienting, and all-consuming. Whether it’s the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or another life-altering event, grief affects not only your emotions but your sense of stability and identity. That’s why grief therapy focuses on equipping you with practical tools that help you manage the emotional weight of loss while navigating daily life.
At Stick & Stone Counselling Services, we offer a range of evidence-based strategies tailored to your unique experience. These may include emotional regulation techniques—such as breathing exercises, journaling prompts, and mindfulness practices—that help you stay grounded when emotions feel intense. We also introduce cognitive tools that support reframing painful thoughts and finding moments of peace amid sorrow.
Reconnecting With Meaning After Loss
After loss, it can be difficult to find a sense of purpose or meaning. Grief therapy supports you in exploring your values, memories, and beliefs—helping you reconnect with what matters most.
Through this process, many clients discover new strength, clarity, and even gratitude. Therapy offers a path to healing that honors your loss while embracing life again.
Grief therapy offers a compassionate space to explore this sense of emptiness and begin rebuilding a new sense of meaning. At Stick & Stone Counselling Services, we guide you in revisiting your core values, memories, and beliefs. Not to forget your loss, but to integrate it into your life in a way that feels grounding and true.
This process might include reflecting on the legacy of a loved one, rediscovering passions, reimagining life goals, or simply learning to sit with what is.
For many clients, this journey leads to greater clarity, emotional depth, and even gratitude as they find new strength in the aftermath of loss.
Through therapy, you begin to see that healing isn’t about "moving on"—it’s about moving forward with intention. Grief can be a powerful teacher, helping you understand what matters most, how you want to live, and what kind of support you need.
We’re here to walk beside you as you take those steps, honouring your loss while helping you reconnect with life in a way that feels meaningful and whole.
