Grief Carries Differently for Those Who Served

Losing someone you served with is a kind of loss most civilians never have to make sense of. The same is true for losing a parent, a spouse, or a sense of purpose after the uniform comes off.

Our providers work with veterans through bereavement, anniversary reactions, survivor guilt, and the slower kind of grief that builds when life keeps moving and the loss does not.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is grief therapy different from PTSD therapy?+

Grief work focuses on adapting to a loss rather than processing a traumatic event. They can overlap, especially when the loss was traumatic, and your provider will tailor treatment.

What is prolonged grief disorder?+

A diagnosis added to the DSM-5-TR for grief that remains intense and disabling beyond a year. Specific therapies have been shown to help.

Will TRICARE or TriWest cover grief therapy?+

Yes. Bereavement and prolonged grief are covered mental health conditions for veterans through both networks.
