Healing after tragedy

Healing After Tragedy

Grief Recovery Outreach Program

The Shaw Center for Women’s Health


Healing after a loss is a personal journey, but you don’t have to walk it alone. Elizabeth A. Nicholson, LCSW, our dedicated Grief Recovery Specialist, is available to support you right here at The Shaw Center for Women’s Health.


We often encounter misconceptions that can hinder the healing process. Together, we work to move past the six common myths of grief:

  • The idea that "time heals all wounds."
  • The belief that you must grieve alone.
  • The pressure to always "be strong."
  • The instruction to "not feel bad."
  • The suggestion to simply "replace the loss."
  • The urge to "keep busy" to avoid the pain.

If you are ready to begin your journey toward healing, we invite you to contact The Shaw Center today!
