About Jacob Brown - Grief Therapist:
My name is Jacob Brown. I'm an Associate Marriage & Family Therapist, specializing in grief and loss. I also focus on therapy for older adults and couples.
My role as your grief counselor, is to be a witness to your grief and gently guide and support you through the process.
My practice is in Marin County, just north of San Francisco.
What brings you to Death Cafe?
I have been drawn to questions around death and grief since the death of my father when I was three.
Thoughts for sharing:
I think unresolved grief is a primary cause of pain for many of us. Unfortunately, the world doesn't have much sympathy or patience for grief.
Grief upsets people. Without meaning to, friends and family can communicate hurtful messages. Instead of helping you mourn your loss, they want you to hurry up and get over it.
These “hurry up” messages can short circuit the grieving process. In response, people often push down their feelings, making the grief process even longer.

We all thing of grief and mourning as the process that comes after a death. But, there is an even longer mourning period that comes before the loved one’s death. The grief process we go through leading up to a loved one’s death is usually referred to as Anticipatory Grief.
