At Sparrow Counseling in Birmingham, AL we know grief can unknowingly live in the body for years. It takes work to go back to those hard memories and allow us to mourn those losses. In relationships, our core memories and experiences define how we see things. Because of this, unprocessed grief can lead to repeating coping skills that have been present for a long time like how we communicate, how we behave, and how emotionally available we are with others.
