Grief and Loss Counseling in Nashotah, WI.

In experiencing multiple losses in my own life, I have come to realize grief is a never-ending process. Being able to cope during the difficult times is important to maintaining a healthy life for yourself. Your loved one would want what's best for you. As difficult as life struggles are without having this special person by your side, or restarting a new career after a recent job loss, staying stagnant and secluding oneself will not help you out of the situation. I provide a private/safe environment to work through your feelings of loss and will encourage a sense of compassion and healing during the process.

Losing anyone or wnytbkng close to you is devastating. Many people show and deal with grief and loss in a variety of ways. Having a counselor to support you in your time of need is a great way to talk about your loss and find healthy ways to cope. Learning to cope does not mean the loss means any less or does not hurt. It means you can feel the loss and the hurt and miss someone forever, but you can learn how to work with your new situation in a positive way.

The spectrum of feelings we experience with loss can be daunting, despite our understanding that loss is an inevitable part of life. Grief may feel like depression, but it is distinctly different. I can help you to sort through the emotions surrounding loss, find peace and gain insight, and develop some lifelong tools for managing grief. The most significant step you can take if you are suffering grief & loss is to make a move toward getting some support, rather than trying to manage it alone.

I will assist the client in identifying the grief/loss so that the client can move forward in life. Grief can often paralyze a person and may continue to haunt the person for a very long time. Without dealing with the issues surrounding the grief and loss it will take its toll on the person and impact life in many different ways. It is important to heal and find healing.

Grief and loss can easily make clients feel in limbo. What I help clients with is to honor their emotions and let it inform them and guide them. To encourage them to help look deeper within the circumstances and find the gold. It's finding another perspective and seeing what lessons they have learned from the past that will help move on to their next chapter.
