Therapy For Grieving Dads

Grief is a profound and complex set of experiences, especially when tied to parenthood and family. At Verve Psychotherapy, we recognize that fathers often face unique challenges when coping with loss, whether it's the loss of a child, partner, or other profound life changes. We offer specialized therapy for grieving dads to help you process your pain, find support, and navigate a path toward healing.

​

Understanding Grief in Fathers

​

Society often expects men to remain strong and stoic during times of loss, but grief affects everyone deeply, regardless of gender. Fathers may feel pressure to suppress their emotions or focus solely on supporting their partners and families, leaving little room to care for their own emotional well-being. This can lead to feelings of isolation, anxiety, and prolonged sadness.

​

Common Experiences Grieving Dads May Face

​​

• Perinatal or Infant Loss: The devastating loss of a pregnancy, stillbirth, or infant can be overwhelming and heartbreaking.

• Partner-Related Complications: Navigating grief while supporting a partner's emotional or physical recovery can be emotionally draining.

• Identity Shifts: Loss can impact your sense of self, purpose, and identity as a father or partner.

• Unacknowledged Grief: Cultural and social norms may dismiss the emotional pain fathers experience, leading to feelings of being unseen or unheard.
