Our Approach to Grief Counseling

Grief is not an illness to be cured or a problem to be solved.

It is a natural response to losing someone we love. Counseling is not about forgetting the person who died or being told that it is time to move on. It is about learning to carry your loss while gradually rediscovering meaning, purpose, and hope.

Through individual conversations, compassionate listening, and spiritual exploration when desired, Rabbi Nenner helps clients:

Express feelings that may be difficult to share with family or friends.

Understand the many emotional and spiritual dimensions of grief.

Navigate feelings of sadness, guilt, anger, loneliness, and uncertainty.

Explore questions of faith and meaning that may arise after a loss.

Find ways to honor and maintain a meaningful connection with loved ones who have died.

Discover sources of strength and resilience as they adjust to life after loss.

Every person's grief is different. Our approach respects your individual experience, personal beliefs, and unique needs.

Ways to meet

Individual counseling. One-on-one conversations with Rabbi Nenner, at your own pace.

Group counseling. Share the journey with others who are also living with loss.

On Zoom or in person. Both individual and group counseling are available online or face to face.
