Grief and Loss Counselling in South River, ON.

Grief is primarily associated with the death of a loved one, whilst this is certainly true the term grief can be used more widely to capture any significant loss experienced in life. I work with clients to help them acknowledge the loss they have experienced and explore the emotional impact it has had and how this will shape their lives as they seek to move forwards and live their own lives.

We live in a world that does not create much space to explore and understand our grief, making it difficult to process and heal from our loss. Grief can be complex; bringing many layers of difficult emotions that need to felt and witnessed. Often, the grief we experience represent much more than what we lost, whether it be how it impacts our day-to-day living or our vision for the future. I provide a supportive space where you can explore all of this at your own pace. You don't have to go through this alone!

As loss may be best described as the absence of something valuable, grief is the reaction to this absence. It permeates every area of our lives. The way we experience grief is personal and changes as we adapt to the loss. Feelings of guilt, disbelief, anger, yearning, and sorrow are often present. Going through the stages of grief is difficult. Together, we will explore the healing journey ensuring you are self-companionate while honouring the one’s you have lost and to explore and understand your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that are integrated into your bereavement process.

The people who have touched our lives, family members, and special friends (pets) we love are important to us. When anything risks those we love, we also feel distressed. Our deep connection to them means we experience this incredible emptiness when they die. Though we know that death is normal, natural, and inevitable, this knowledge does not eliminate the emotional pain of our loss. Through my losses and the losses of others, I have learned that life is over, but it is never finished. If you are experiencing a recent loss of a family member, friend, or special friend, I am available to journey with you through this loss.

Grief counseling helps people cope with grief and mourning following the loss of a loved one or due to major life changes that trigger feelings of grief (i.e. job loss or divorce). It provides a space for individuals to work through and process the complex emotions surrounding loss. Healthy grieving results in remembering the loss with a newfound sense of peace, rather than searing pain.
