Specializing in Bipolar and other mood disorders, loneliness, grief and loss.
Grief may be understood as, 'whenever a loss suddenly and irrovocably changes the course of your life, breaking the line from the past you cherished to the future you counted on.'
The basic core of grief is wanting what you can no longer have.
