Bereavement Counselling

The experience of bereavement is very much like setting sail in completely uncharted waters. None of us can predict how we will feel or behave. Counselling can help guide us through the maelstrom of emotions. It is a journey and it’s important to allow time so we may arrive safe into calmer waters.

We also experience feelings of bereavement through a life changing illness, job loss, relationship breakdown or financial crisis.

Symptoms are shock, numbness, a feeling of being in limbo, or disconnected from others. Feeling incredibly sad, exhausted, frequently sobbing, feeling anger towards the person you have lost, or the reason for their death are also part of the bereavement process. Guilt – and what if’s about things we did or didn’t say, did or didn’t do is another part of the process of grieving.

Counselling is there to help support and reassure you as well as helping you reach acceptance so you can move on with your life.
