Grief and Loss Counselling in Fort Macleod, AB.

Grief and loss is one of my specialties. I was a grief counsellor on staff at Hospice in Edmonton. I feel it is extremely important that the bereaved get into professional counselling as soon as possible so they can start their journey of healing and knowing that they are being supported through these very emotional times. If you note that the title of this paragraph also discusses 'Loss". When we lose a friend, our job, even our beloved pets, we still go through a grieving process. Reach out to some who knows how to help you heal!

Many people reach out for help to deal with grief or loss of a friend or family member. Its important to remember to be kind to your self during this time there is no right or wrong way to grieve. Its also important to remember a person can miss or grieve the loss of not only people but also jobs, events, trips, freedom, health and a number of other things As you process your memories of a person or an event you will be contained in a safe environment with acceptance and care.

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.

In supporting a client through grief and loss, I help clients accept their grief without judgment, while guiding them to identify their values and commit to actions that align with those values despite the pain. With clients, I explore how their story of loss is unfolding, giving space for them to reframe their experience and find meaning in the midst of their sorrow. I also support clients in understanding and healing any internal parts of themselves that may be in conflict or overwhelmed by grief. Together, we create a path to healing that honors the pain of loss while allowing space for growth and resilience.

Losing someone or something that is close to us, can leave us feeling as though we have a gaping hole in our hearts.
