Grief & Gratitude Counseling

09/01/2026

September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month—a time to talk openly about su***de, reduce the stigma around asking for help, and remind one another that hope can exist even in the hardest moments.

“You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” -Martin Luther King Jr.

Sometimes that first step is a conversation, asking for help, or simply just staying.

This month reach out, be present and listen. You never know what a little connection might mean to someone. 💜

If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 to connect with the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. In 2025 alone, 988 received more than 8 million contacts from people seeking help.

Let them think.
Let them say.
Let them be who they are.

And remember to focus on what you can control— your thoughts, responses, and boundaries.

💙 Grief & Gratitude Counseling is walking. Will you walk with us?

On Saturday, September 12th, our G&G team will be at the Hastings Out of the Darkness Community Walk at Brickyard Park, and we would love to see our community there with us.

As a mental health practice, we see every day how important it is to have people who listen, support, and remind us that we don't have to carry the hard things alone. This walk is an opportunity to come together, remember those we have lost, support those who are struggling, and bring a little more hope into our community. 💙

We’ll have a Grief & Gratitude Counseling table at the event, so please stop by and say hello! Whether you’re walking, volunteering, visiting the resource tables, or simply showing up to support someone you love, you belong there.

📅 Saturday, September 12th
📍 Brickyard Park – Hastings
🕤 Check-in: 9:30 AM
🚶 Walk begins: 10:00 AM

Come find us, say hi to our team, and most importantly—let’s show Hastings that mental health matters and that no one has to walk through the darkness alone.

💙 We hope to see you there.

Grief doesn’t follow a timeline, and you don’t have to navigate it alone.

At Grief & Gratitude Counseling, we have therapists who specialize in grief and loss and understand that grief can look different for everyone. Whether you’re grieving the loss of a loved one, navigating a major life change, or carrying a loss that others may not see, having a safe space to process those feelings can make a difference.

We also offer a Monthly Grief Support Group on the second Thursday of every month, providing a place to connect with others who understand the journey of grief.

💚 You don’t have to go through grief alone. Sometimes, support starts with simply knowing someone is there.

If you’re looking for individual grief counseling or would like more information about our Grief Support Group, please contact our office.

🐾 National Dog Day | August 26 🐾

There’s a reason people say dogs are good for the soul. ❤️

Our four-legged friends can bring comfort, companionship, laughter, and a sense of routine into our lives. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, a quiet cuddle after a long day, or simply having someone excited to see you when you walk through the door, dogs have a special way of reminding us to slow down and be present.

Spending time with a pet can be a simple way to support your mental health. Take the walk. Get the cuddles. Soak up the unconditional love. And remember to take care of yourself, too. 💙

Here are the Grief and Gratitude doggies!🐕 Drop a picture of your furry best friend in the comments, we want to see them!👇📸

Happy National Dog Day from all of us at Grief & Gratitude Counseling!

Today, we’re celebrating the wisdom, stories, experiences, and perspectives that come with every stage of life.

At Grief & Gratitude Counseling, we believe mental health support is important at every age. Our therapists work with older adults who may be navigating grief and loss, life transitions, loneliness, changes in independence, family relationships, anxiety, depression, or simply the many changes that come with getting older.

Sometimes, having someone to talk to who truly listens can make all the difference.

If you or an older loved one could benefit from having a safe space to talk, our therapists are here to help. 💙

Today, give an older adult in your life a call, stop by for a visit, or simply remind them how much they mean to you. A little connection can go a long way.
