Grief Counselling
Grief Counselling
Although grief is an inevitable part of life, the loss of a loved one is always an unexpected and challenging situation to cope with, even when the loss is expected. There is no way to prepare to grieve.
As time passes, most come to terms with their loss and learn to cope in their own ways. Others struggle with grief for prolonged periods without improvement, and as a result, their ability to carry on with daily activities is disturbed.
No matter how long it takes you to mourn a loved one, grief counseling can help you navigate one of the most challenging experiences of life.
What Is Grief Counseling?
Grief counseling, or bereavement counseling, is designed to help people cope with the loss of a loved one. A grief counselor can help you develop methods and strategies for coping with your loss and grief. Grief counseling provides bereaved people with an avenue to discuss their feelings and emotions, helping them discover ways to ease the grieving process.
You may have heard of the stages of grief, which can be challenging for anyone, but grief counseling is recommended especially for individuals whose grief:
- Interferes with daily activities
- Causes feelings of guilt or depression
- Makes it harder to carry on with their own lives
- Causes problems in existing relationships
