Grief and Loss Counselling in Swift Current, SK.

Life is full of disappointments but there are some experiences with grief and loss that feel almost unbearable. Life carries on for others but we are stuck still processing our shock of what happened. If you are here, you are not alone and processing through this pain is a normal part of being human and having a heart that has the capacity to love and be loved. While it is normal to experience this pain, it does not have to be forever. There are ways to heal and ways to grow stronger and I would love to be a part of this healing journey with you.

While grief and transition are a natural part of life, we are still often overwhelmed by sadness, anger and all the confusing emotions that come with loss. There is no right or wrong way to grieve—just your body and mind doing what it can to process the pain of major life change and the loss of how things were. Working with me means compassionate care that helps you to approach and feel your feelings in a safe way, taking things one step at a time. I promise you that all grief can be transformed into a gentle honouring of who or what was lost. I would be happy to team up with you in your journey towards peace and acceptance.

When we risk loving another person we also risk losing them. Losing a loved one can be one of the most painful & difficult heartaches that we can go through in our lifetime. Whether it's a child, a parent, a spouse, a grandparent, or someone else to whom we are close; whether the death was sudden & unexpected or whether it had been long anticipated, our loss cannot be compared to the loss of someone else. Each person's grief is unique as is the process. Maureen understands the grieving process from a professional & personal perspective with the loss of her parents, spouse & young grandchild. She supports you with compassion, respect, & understanding as she works with you through your grief.

Are you using alcohol, substances, or addictive behaviors to cope with grief and loss? Although they provide relief in the short term, their long-term effects on your relationships and health can make it even more difficult to cope. Through a compassionate non-judgmental approach, I help clients explore their relationship to grief and loss so that they can overcome addictive coping strategies. If you're looking for another way forward, feel free to reach out and we can set up a free consultation to discuss further.
