no one ever asks for grief, and losses often happen unexpectedly. We all have supports in our lives: parents and children, friends, colleagues, grandparents and even aunts or uncles. Frequently grief seems to go longer than we expect, even to the point where we feel unsure about burdening our loved ones still. Sometimes we've lost hope or feel completely numb in it and don't know what to do, even wondering if things will ever change. Counsellors can help, becoming another support when we need one. We can let you know how you're doing on this uncomfortable road, listening and being with you.
