Grief & Bereavement Counselling
Grief Counselling Our grief can have many aspects. We may experience grief about a person, someone close to us, or may be grieving a stage of Iife (see Releasing Ourselves & Letting Go). We may also experience existential grief.
Bereavement Counselling Bereavement is a natural process and it takes time. It can be one of the most difficult or painful experience we have. Each of us has a different strategy & timescale for mourning & coping. Grief for those who have lived (or for someone who was unborn), can impact upon us right to our core. Memories, stories & emotions can get stirred up. We may need someone simply to listen, or to support us through our grief, offering a place to think, reflect, feeI & process what is going on, to mourn in our own good time. Grief counselling can support you in this. Our reflection may also be of a religious or spiritual nature, and we may turn to bereavement counselling for support & reflection.
Miscarriage, Pregnancy Termination, Abortion Our beliefs, thoughts, emotions & hopes may be very different before & after our experience of loss. The mother's reactions & role may be very different of those of the father. Decisions & choices made may induce shock, guilt or shame. "What if?" may be a familiar preoccupation.
