Grief Counseling

Journeying beyond grief is not easy to overcome.

While grief has become a universal experience since the beginning of the COVID pandemic, the complicated continuum of emotions a person might experience after a significant loss probably won’t be. Coping with any of these forms of grief can often be emotionally, mentally, and physically debilitating.

As the awareness of grief has increased, so has the understanding that there are many kinds of loss, such as the loss of a job, marriage, pet, financial stability, one’s health, or even an item of sentimental value. Any of these forms of loss can prompt feelings of mournfulness on varying levels. One might feel other types of grief, including anticipatory, cumulative, delayed, disenfranchised, exaggerated, secondary, and others.

Each person has a different grief journey.

Although it is familiar and true that everyone experiences grief differently, family members frequently forget this fact and begin judging each other based on their expectations, making it challenging to communicate with each other. As a result, making the necessary plans and arrangements becomes difficult.

Other issues related to grief are well-meaning people who say things that are far from helpful, such as, “You can’t question God,” “God knows what he’s doing,” or “It gets easier with time.” Faith in God does not remove the pain and impact that occurs for a grieving person.

Counseling can make the grief journey less challenging.

Fortunately, there are proven solutions that can be useful as you mourn and work to accept the reality of your loss.
