When should you seek help for Grief?
Grief is a natural response to loss. Grief comes in many shapes and sizes, it is a continuous process, not a state, it will come and go and reappear at different times. In most cases, the majority of people are able to work through their grief, adjust and adapt to loss without the need for grief therapy. However, sometimes the healing process can become halted by multiple factors, which interferes with a person’s ability to accept the reality of the loss, and find future meaning, purpose and joy in their life again.
Grief is very individual and unique to the person, it manifests differently for everyone. Grief is not passive. It is intense and impacts more than just our emotions.
How can Grief Therapy help?
I work with individuals who have experienced different types of life altering changes including:
- Death of a loved one, beloved pet.
- Pregnancy and reproductive loss.
- Pregnancy termination for medical reasons.
- Fertility challenges.
- Debilitating diagnosis or disability.
- Relationship breakup or divorce.
- Identity, financial or job loss.
For some individuals, our work is on helping them cope with anticipatory grief related to the impending loss that has not happened yet. Even positive events such as getting married, becoming a parent can have some associated grief.
Recovery and healing is possible.
