Navigating Change After Loss: Holistic Bereavement Therapy in Columbus, Ohio

Loss can leave an echo you didn’t anticipate. Whether it’s the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a job transition, or a shift in identity—grief often arrives quietly, yet its impact is profound. At Teal Saguaro Wellness, located in Dublin and serving the wider Columbus & Central Ohio region, we specialize in holistic bereavement therapy that helps you tend to mind, body, and spirit during seasons of change and healing.

Why Grief Is More Than Emotional Pain

When you lose someone or something meaningful, your world shifts—and not just emotionally. Grief affects your nervous system, disrupts sleep, alters appetite, and can leave you feeling untethered. The body holds the story too. In our work, we view bereavement as a whole-person experience: the mind processing thoughts and memories, the body experiencing somatic responses, and the spirit seeking meaning.

Loss often invites questions like: Who am I now? What’s next? How do I keep going when the ground feels unstable? In bereavement therapy at Teal Saguaro Wellness, we make space for those questions—and for your story to unfold anew.

Our Functional & Holistic Approach to Bereavement

At Teal Saguaro Wellness, our bereavement therapy is rooted in a functional wellness framework—one that acknowledges how lifestyle, nervous system health, and spiritual integration all play a role in healing. Here’s what you’ll find in our approach:

• Trauma-informed grief counseling: Recognizing that many losses carry layers of trauma (sudden death, prolonged illness, caregiving burnout, etc.).

• Somatic awareness: Helping you tune into how your body responds to grief—tightness, fatigue, restlessness—and offering tools to ground and release.

• Mind-body-spirit integration: Exploring how grief touches your faith, values, and identity—and finding ways to restore connection and meaning.

• Lifestyle support: We address how sleep, nutrition, movement, hydration, and nervous system regulation support your emotional recovery.

• Faith-based and spiritual care (if desired): For clients who incorporate their Christian faith or broader spirituality in the healing process, we create a space to bring those elements into therapy—whether through Scripture reflection, prayer practices, or exploration of sacred meaning.

What Grief Counseling in Central Ohio Looks Like

When you begin bereavement therapy with us (in-person in Dublin or via telehealth across Central Ohio), here’s what you can expect:

1. Establishing Safety and Connection

We begin by creating a safe, welcoming environment. You’ll be seen, heard, and respected. We’ll take time to understand your story—what you’ve lost, how it’s impacted you, and where you feel stuck now.

2. Exploring the Layers of Loss

Together, we’ll map how grief shows up for you: the emotional waves, the moments you feel numb, the body’s tension, the spiritual questions. Often, these layers intertwine—so we treat them as part of a whole system, not separate problems.

3. Building Coping Skills & Nervous System Support

Grief can throw your nervous system off balance. You may find yourself triggered, shut down, or emotionally flooded. We’ll equip you with tools—grounding exercises, breathwork, somatic movement—to regulate your system and stay present in your body.

4. Integrating Life & Loss

As you feel more stable, we’ll help you consider how to carry forward from loss—not by “getting over it,” but by integrating it. What parts of your story remain meaningful? How might your life shift now? How does your faith or spirituality play a role in this new chapter?

5. Cultivating Growth & Wellness

Over time, many clients report surprises: deeper self-compassion, renewed priorities, stronger nervous system resilience, more authentic relationships, richer spiritual connection. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting the loss—it means growing with it and beyond it.
