Internal Family Systems & Death
Internal Family Systems for Death & Dying Support
Grief is never just one feeling. It is a landscape of parts—some clinging to what was, others longing for what could have been, some resisting, some accepting, some simply lost. Internal Family Systems (IFS) provides a way to work with these parts, offering a framework for understanding how grief moves within us.
By tending to our inner landscape with compassion, curiosity, and care, we create space for grief to be witnessed rather than suppressed. We acknowledge the part that wants to keep busy, the part that is angry, the part that cannot stop crying. Instead of silencing them, we listen. And in listening, we allow grief to integrate—not as something to be fixed, but as something that belongs.
