With a few exceptions, you probably didn’t expect to face the death of a loved one when you were in your twenties or thirties. Because grieving a death is non-normative during this phase of life, a grieving quarterlifer is apt to feel like their peers don’t understand. Additionally, it can be challenging to find resources and help for grieving young adults. As a 25 year-old grieving client expressed, “my friends don’t know how to handle my sadness. I feel so alone . . . like everyone is tiptoeing around me.”

Experiences with grief can be multi-layered and complicated. Grieving the death of someone close to us poses unique challenges during young adulthood and the quarterlife stage of life.

In grief counseling at QLC, you will meet with an experienced grief counselor who provides a safe, supportive space to explore your emotions and to learn about the grief process.
