Grief and Loss Counselling in South Rawdon, NS.

Although grief is normally thought of in terms of the death of a loved one, grieving is a common human experience that happens after many types of losses in life. Have you experienced the death of someone close to you, divorce, a friendship ending, or even a job loss, you may be experiencing sadness, regret, anger, and other complicated emotions that may be causing you to struggle. I can help you process through those thoughts and feelings a find a place of healing.

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.

Grief can feel overwhelming, like we are drowning under its weight. Maybe you feel unable to process your feelings because you need to be strong for those around you. Counselling gives you a place to express all the complicated parts of grief like sadness, anger, and fear, and to care for yourself in a compassionate space that is free from judgment.

Grief and loss are experienced differently for each person - so therapy must be individualized and tweaked just for you and your situation. It is a process not an event and so we go over your story together and look for those events and perceptions that are uniquely significant to you. That tells us where to start, and what to expect. There is no "normal" when it comes to grief and loss, but you can get back to feeling normal for you.
