    Grief & Bereavement Counseling

    Bereavement and grief are not light-hearted topics. All of us experience loss throughout our lives, whether from death, ending of a relationship or job, loss of trust or safety and security, or a myriad of other life experiences. Bereavement refers to the process of recovering from the death of a loved one, and grief is a reaction for any form of loss. Both encompass a wide range of emotions which may include fear, confusion, anger, and deep, deep sadness.

    The process of adapting to a loss can dramatically change from person to person, depending on his or her background, beliefs, relationship to the person who’s passed, and other factors. Your grief and experience of bereavement is unique.

    However, there are some common symptoms of grief most of us experience. They can be physical, emotional spiritual, or social.

    A few common symptoms in these categories are:

    Physical

    • Crying and sighing
    • Headaches
    • Loss of appetite
    • Difficulty sleeping
    • Weakness
    • Fatigue

    Emotional

    • Feelings of sadness and yearning
    • Feelings of worry or anger
    • Feelings of frustration or guilt

    Spiritual

    • Questioning your faith or belief in a higher power
    • Searching for meaning
    • Dreams

    Social

    • Feeling detached from others
    • Self-isolation from social contact
    • Behaving in ways that are not normal for you

    Every grieving experience is different. A person may be able to continue their day-to-day routine after one loss, yet not be able to get out of bed after the loss of someone else. Whatever your personal symptoms are, grief and bereavement counseling have been proven to help.
