Alice Weisko, Psy. D. Psychologist

Grief is something we all face but the loss of a child is especially overwhelming, no matter the cause. Feelings of horror, guilt, anger, despair can haunt parents. Parents may hide these feelings to avoid distressing other family members who also loved the child or because they blame themselves. Parents’ grief may create excessive anxiety over their surviving children, And when parents grieve differently, as men and women often do, grief can strain the parents’ relationship just when they most need each other. A private supportive place to voice your grief and thoughts is critical to process your grief. I have decades of experience helping parents through this unimaginable loss.
