Grief and Loss Counselling in Aldergrove, BC.

Grief is a description of the feeling of loss, The feeling of loss is the result of a belief that your connection ,your love comes from a body that is now gone. This belief creates a feeling of sadness. The truth is that you can remember to value the love that is still with you and always will be - love does not die; it is not gone with the body. You can learn to replace the old belief with the truth you will come to a place of peace and acceptance
