Welcome to Grief is the New Normal Psychological Services.
I’m Dr. Heather Taylor, a licensed psychologist specializing in grief, trauma, and reproductive psychology. I’m also proud to be PsyPact accredited, enabling me to offer telehealth services across state lines to those who need it most.
Your grief is unique to you and it’s important you have a clinician who understands that grief isn’t a problem to be solved, but a profound experience to be navigated. Grief is a universal lived experience and it’s essential to help normalize and validate your loss. Grief therapy is deeply rooted in warmth, inclusivity, and validation. You get to go at your own pace in this grief journey and having a space to navigate this new normal is essential to your healing.
Whether you are facing the raw edges of recent loss, the complexities of trauma, or the emotional challenges of reproductive health, you are not alone. Through telehealth, you’ll receive the support you need in a way that is both accessible and comfortable for you, wherever you are in your journey.
Together, we will explore the path of healing, recognizing and honoring your feelings as valid and important. Your emotions, experiences, and stories are welcomed here, and they will be met with the utmost care and respect.
I’m here to support you, to validate your experiences, and to help you navigate the challenges of grief with patience and learning how to feel the feelings.
This is a guide and journal created by a surviving sibling for surviving siblings. In this guide, you will learn more about what being a surviving sibling means and understand why surviving siblings are called the "forgotten mourners." This guide was created to help you along your grief journey as a bereaved sibling. It has information about being a bereaved sibling with plenty of writing prompts to help you along the way.
Regardless of where you are in your grief journey, this is a guide for you if you have lost a sibling as it helps you learn that while you may never "move on" from this loss, you can move forward. You will learn what the difference is between the two, and trust me, there is a massive difference.
Within The Grief Guide for Surviving Siblings, you will also have the following exercises:
Validating your Loss and Feelings
The Seven Stages of Grief
Grief Timeline Exercise
Getting Unstuck
Moving Forward Together
This is not only a guide but a journal for you as a bereaved sibling, a forgotten forgotten or surviving sibling as we call it on our podcast. Please use these prompts and empty pages however you like to help you along your grief journey.
