Grief & Loss
Counselling for Bereavement
Losing a loved one can have a devastating effect on your life. Coping with the passing of a loved one is a journey that is perhaps filled with fear, insecurity, grief and self-doubt. Counselling can help you find a way through.
Understanding Bereavement
What shapes your grief
Various factors influence the kind of grief you will experience:
- Your relationship with the deceased
- Circumstances surrounding their death
- Viewing of the deceased and the funeral
- Your life after their death
- Other life factors at the time of the loss
It is generally considered that losing a spouse or life partner is likely to have a far greater impact than any other kind of loss. However, the loss of other significant relationships — a parent, a child — can have just as great an impact. It really depends on the nature and strength of the relationship.
The impact can be made greater if there is unfinished business with the deceased — things unresolved or unsaid. A conversation unfinished. These unresolved threads can intensify and complicate the grief.
How You Might Feel
No right or wrong way to grieve
You might experience a range of different emotions — sadness, loneliness, anger, frustration, disbelief, fear, self-doubt. You might even experience all of these at once. You might feel fine one minute and down the next. There is no right or wrong way to cope. It will generally vary from person to person, week to week, day to day.
With the passage of time you will want to accept the reality of the loss, work through your pain and grief, and adjust to your new way of being without the deceased. This will take time and it will not be straightforward.
Things that can help:
- Give yourself the time and space to process your grief
- Return to your life routine as much as possible
- Talk to friends and family to share your grief
- Practise mindfulness
If you find it hard to get out of bed and your grief is affecting your health or the health of those around you, it may be time to seek help.
How I Can Help
Bereavement counselling
In the short term, I would look to create some coping strategies with you — strengthening what you already have or creating alternative ones. This would allow you to normalise your feelings and return to the normality of your life as much as is possible.
By processing your grief and normalising your feelings, I will look to help you come to terms with your loss — and allow you to move forward in life.
