Grief and Loss Counselling in River Hebert, NS.

Although grief is a normal part of life, it provides us with challenges that often overwhelm us. I have worked with individuals struggling with grief and loss issues for many years. I have led groups which have grief and loss as their focus. I believe opening up to another person when one is in the midst of grief is the most important step in healing. Then the burden is not so heavy and one does not feel so alone. Grief counselling offers the opportunity for this sharing that can be so helpful when one is struggling with grief and loss.

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 are facing grief and loss, there is often a complex web of emotions and many layers of meaning-making to encounter in our healing process. The path is never linear. The timeline requires sensitivity and nuance. Compassion, patience and the ability to hold seemingly contradictory feelings are paramount. With gentle presence, we can hold the magnitude and the subtleties of this experience moving step by step towards healing.
