Grief and Loss Counselling in Dalmeny, SK.

My approach to grief counseling recognizes that we can never be fully prepared for the loss of a loved one, regardless of the circumstances. I work with clients to understand the grief process and identify how such experiences impact their lives, their coping mechanisms, and available individual and community-based strategies and methods of intervention. I also work with clients experiencing complicated mourning, anticipatory grief, and sudden and unexpected death.

Grieving is a normal process however because we are all unique the duration and intensity can vary depending on the individual and the situation.

Our natural response to any loss is to grieve. Maybe there is grief for a loved one, for a broken promise or betrayed trust, for lost opportunities, for the suffering of another, for the end of a relationship, or the loss of a job. It can be a complicated process involving a complex (and often confusing) array of painful feelings that often affect us on all levels - mind, body and spirit. In my practice, I help people to work through the mourning process, exploring ways to honor their loss, and begin to adapt to changes and new realities. Maybe together, we can find a way through.

Grief and Loss is a pivotal aspect of counseling / therapy that applies to work in trauma, bereavement, addiction recovery, and more. Sadly, in today's society, we have been conditioned to minimize our wounds, downplay the effects of the loss, and somehow pretend that we have nothing to grieve. We may find ourselves profoundly effected by a loss, but not receive the care required, because few recognize the significance. Grief and loss is important to process and embrace. It is not a systematic routine of stages that comes to a neat resolution. And grief/loss should not be endured alone.
