Grief

Grief Counseling

Grief is a normal response to loss. It can be the loss of a home, job, marriage, or a loved one.

Perhaps the most painful loss is the death of a person you love, whether from a long illness or from an accident or an act of violence. Counseling can help you cope with the grief you or others may feel after a death – whether sudden or anticipated, that your feelings are not unusual, and that things can get better.

Studies show that when people don’t effectively deal with the emotions of grief, the pain remains with them, and it can turn up in unrecognizable and sometimes destructive ways.

Grief Counseling Techniques

If you are grieving you have two choices. You can avoid the pain and all the other emotions associated with your loss and continue on, hoping to forget, but most likely you will continue to experience pain.

Or you can recognize grieving and seek healing and growth.

Effective grief counseling can be immensely helpful in moving through loss and restoring a sense of peace and purpose. Understanding the emotions of grief and symptoms are important steps in healing. It is possible to recover from grief with new strengths and a new direction.
