Grief ...
If you are looking at this page it could be you or someone you know is grieving, and you might be looking for answers or support.
Grief is our human response to change and loss in our lives, such as the death of someone we love. It is a natural and normal response, which has a physical impact on our bodies as well affecting our emotions and our thinking. Grief can challenge the way we think about ourselves and the world, and can influence our spirituality and relationships. Grief is a very individual experience, with no right or wrong way to grieve for your loss.
In your grief you may be struggling to cope with your daily - life.
Do you recognise any of these experiences?
• Physical: Tiredness and fatigue, changes in appetite, sleeplessness, crying and sighing.
• Emotional: Sadness, feelings of anxiety or panic, anger, heightened emotions and guilt.
• Social: Tendency to withdraw from friends and family, uncomfortable in social situations.
• Intellectual: Confusion, aimlessness, lack of motivation, inability to concentrate, forgetfulness.
• Spiritual: Searching for meaning, questioning our religious and/or spiritual beliefs.
Will counselling help?
Bereavement counselling may be able to provide support during these very difficult times. Talking about the loss often allows a person to adjust to their new life with all its changes - good and bad. Keeping things bottled up or denying the sadness could prolong the pain. Any loss has to be acknowledged for us to move forward. Bereavement counselling tries to help clients find a way to integrate their loss.
Sometimes we may need a little extra support when we are grieving.If your grief is getting in the way of your everyday life, or you feel it's not getting any better, you might be stuck.
As an experienced Counsellor I can support you to look at things differently and to explore intense emotions. I will be there to support you and respect your views, and can hep you to find your own insights.
