Our Therapists have extensive experience working with feelings of grief that come from loss. We draws on her warmth and empathy to sit with grieving clients as they explore and process their loss. We believe that loss comes in many forms, such as the ending of an important relationship, the death of a loved one or even a loss of one’s hopes and dreams. Grief is part of being human and when we heal from loss, we don’t get over it but find a way to live with it. Grief is a very normal process and it is a reflection of our humanity and our ability to love and to fully engage in our lives. As David Kessler aptly writes, “love and grief are inextricably intertwined.”

Grief is a potential reaction to a loss of any kind whether through death, divorce, abandonment, separation, job loss, illness, disease diagnosis, kids leaving home, etc. Feelings of anger, resentment, shame, confusion, isolation or abandonment can result. Friends and family may not know what to say or how to provide support. A trained professional, who is profoundly sympathetic, respectful and empathetic, with the skills required to help one navigate through this difficult time, can be critical in helping one regain equilibrium.

Do you find yourself thinking about all of the ways that you could have or should have prevented that painful thing from happening? Sentences starting with "If only I", "If only they", "I should have", I shouldn't have" are all thoughts brought on by grief and loss and the desperation to change painful experiences and life events that result in loss. Do you revisit painful losses or feel trapped by grief that has a grip on you that will not let go? At Mindful Centre we understand grief and loss and we can help you to process the pain while honoring the ones you love and finding comfort and healing.

I help clients with grief and loss using cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), an approach in which I am certified. I encourage clients to set aside regular times to let themselves grieve. This makes it easier to focus on other matters during the rest of the day. I explore with clients ways of grieving which would be most helpful to them.
