Bereavement

Loss is part of the cycle of life and bereavement / grief a common reason for people to seek therapy.
When we experience the loss of a loved one or something we care about, it’s not unusual to feel that a part of us has died. Grief can feel like a heavy, unyielding burden which will never lift.

What is Grief?

Grief is the term we use to describe the feelings and reactions we have when we lose someone or something that we care about. It affects us all . It is painful and stressful and also natural, and necessary.
Endings are inevitable and when someone close dies, they leave a hole in our world to which we have to find a way of adjusting .Our world is totally changed and we may have to let go of shared hopes, we may have regrets about things we haven’t said, opportunities we didn’t take.
We each grieve in our own unique way and the process can take months or years.
Counselling can support you to come to terms with your loss and help you begin to heal and live your life fully again.
