Grief Counselling

Grief occurs in response to the loss of someone or something. The loss may involve a loved one, a job, or possibly a role (student entering the workplace or employee entering retire-ment). Anyone can experience grief and loss; however, individuals are unique in how they experience this event.

Grief, itself, is a normal and natural response to loss. It is important to acknowledge and allow the grief to happen because it promotes the healing process. Although each person can have very different experiences of grief.

These grief reactions may contribute to crying, trouble sleeping, a change in appetite, absent-mindedness, social withdrawal, dreams and nightmares, avoiding reminders, and trying to stay busy. Expect that you will have ups and downs from day to day. Grief counselling can help you through this difficult time.

When grief doesn’t go away
It’s normal to feel sad, numb, or angry following a loss. But as time passes, these emotions should become less intense as you accept the loss and start to move forward. If you aren’t feeling better over time, or your grief is getting worse, it may be a sign that your grief has developed into a more serious problem, such as complicated grief or major depression.
