Grief in Smyrna takes shape in ways that don't always look like traditional bereavement. Military families connected to Dobbins Air Reserve Base carry grief from service-related loss, fellow service members, deployments that ended in loss, and the disenfranchised grief of leaving communities behind with every move. Long-time Black residents watching Smyrna's rapid redevelopment carry a different, related grief: the loss of a neighborhood's identity and affordability, even while the physical place remains. Radiant Recovery provides grief counseling and bereavement therapy for Smyrna and Cobb County residents via telehealth throughout Georgia. Georgia Medicaid accepted. Same-week appointments.
Who We Help
Military families and veterans grieving service-related loss
Loss of fellow service members, the compounded grief of frequent relocation, and the transition grief that follows separation from service are treated as legitimate, clinically significant bereavement.
Long-time residents grieving neighborhood and community change
Watching redevelopment transform a lifelong home city produces a real form of grief, the loss of a place's identity and affordability, even without a death involved. We treat this as legitimate disenfranchised grief.
Families experiencing traditional bereavement
Alongside military and displacement-related grief, we provide standard grief counseling and Complicated Grief Therapy for recent loss across Smyrna's population.
