Grief & Loss Counselling in Edmonton, Sherwood Park and Area
Understanding Grief and Loss Counselling
- Have you experienced the profound loss of someone you care about?
- Are you struggling with a lost relationship?
- Lost pet?
- Lost job or home?
- Do you feel you have lost your way and have lost your identity or purpose?
- Are you feeling overwhelmed with your thoughts and emotions as a result of these losses?
Why Grief Counselling?
Friends & family don’t always provide the support that individuals need after experiencing a loss. Perhaps they are struggling with the same loss? Perhaps they don’t know what to say or how to help you? Perhaps they are influenced by some of society’s misconceptions about grief:
- Encouraging you to keep busy to avoid your grief.
- Putting a deadline on your grief.
- Suggesting that you will move on and get over your loss.
The truth is that individuals often benefit from the support of a grief counsellor to help them explore and understand their grief in a safe, non-judgmental and compassionate space to help them move forward to find healing while learning meaningful ways to mourn their loss.
