To experience the death of someone who was very important to you, shakes us to the core. Finding a way through grief isn’t easy and you might be finding it difficult to adjust to the immense changes happening in your life right now. Bereavement is the time we spend adjusting to the loss. There is no standard time limit and there is no right or wrong way to feel during the bereavement period – we each learn to cope as we find our own way. Bereavement counselling and talking about the loss allows you to adjust to life with all its changes – good and bad. Grief is normal and can manifest in a huge range of unexpected ways. Some people get angry, some people need to cry a lot and some people feel completely numb. Sometimes, grief can turn into something more serious – like depression. Keeping things bottled up or denying the sadness only prolongs the pain. Talking will help you to explore, express and understand your grief process. Bereavement counselling with us will help you to honour who you have lost and begin to move on with life and eventually find acceptance.
We can help with:
Understanding of the mourning process
Explore areas that are preventing you from moving on
Resolve areas of conflict still remaining
Adjust to a new sense of self
Address possible issues of depression or suicidal thoughts.
One day, you may be able to find happiness again. Grieving healthily helps us let go of the pain while preserve the memory of your loved one. This honours the impact they had on your life, without letting their absence inhibit your own future.
