struggling with grief
Many of us will experience a form of loss at some point in our life, and grief is a normal reaction to any kind of loss.  Bereavement is a type of grief which involves the death of a loved one. Both bereavement and grief will give you a range of feelings, from sadness to anger or numbness.  Grief counseling can help.
 
There are different processes on how to adapt and cope with significant loss, and the process can vary from person to person. This depends on various factors, including a person's background, beliefs, and how they were related to or connected to the person that was lost.
 
While we are experiencing grief, it is good to have support from someone that can empathize with your feelings. That is where grief counseling can play a significant role.  But what is grief counseling and is it as helpful as people say it is?
 
Read on!
 
What is Grief Counseling?
Grief counseling is a form of psychotherapy to help people cope with losses of any form, may it be a loss of a loved one, divorce or separation, losing a job, home, or any number of other things.
 
This is different from bereavement counseling, which is psychotherapy to help people that cope with losses specifically to the death of a loved one. Grief counseling is a larger umbrella that tackles different forms of losses.
 
What Does Grief Counseling Do?
Grief counseling isn't an immediate fix, but it can help significantly as you go through the different stages of complicated feelings of grief. You can move through the common stages of grief with proper support and start the healthy healing process.
 
Grief counselors have studied and developed strategies for the stages of grief and techniques to help people move on in healthy ways while mourning their loss. Here are some of the common goals of grief counseling:

  • Accept the reality of the loss
  • Identify and deal with any trauma experienced
  • Talk freely about the loss, may it be the job, loved one, among other things that may have been lost
  • Experience and express emotions freely
  • Overcome any feelings of guilt
  • Cope with life changes
  • Dealing with complicated grief
  • To build a healthy support system
 
Grief counseling won't have you forget who/what you lost or bypass the painful feeling of loss, nor does it change who you are. It simply helps you through the painful process to help you heal as you go.
 
Grief Counseling Techniques
There are different steps and techniques taken during grief counseling, including:

  • Talking privately in a peaceful and quiet area
  • Describing the exact moment of the loss
  • Discussing the funeral arrangements and plans made after the loss
  • Using correct words
  • Check for any signs of depression
  • Talk about any losses experienced in the past
  • Writing letters, journaling, and creating memory books
  • Art therapy and/or reading assignments
  • Visualizing resolutions of any unfinished businesses and the "Empty Chair" technique
  • Roleplaying new solutions
  • Having remembrance rituals
  • Giving the patience the time to grieve without the feeling of guilt, weakness, or selfishness
 
Wrapping It Up
Grief counseling is a healthy way to deal with any emotions related to grief. Not many people know about the stages of grief they go through, which can make the loss painful and hard to bear. Through counseling, you can navigate through your feelings and find healthy ways to cope, heal, and open your eyes to a better tomorrow.
 
If you feel like grief counseling can help you, do find a reputable grief counselor you can see today. You can also share your experiences and insights on seeing grief counseling below, I appreciate all of your thoughts.

I want to use this opportunity to testify of the marvelous work of Dr. Odunga and how he has helped me in curing my sickness and bringing happiness into my life. I can really vouch for Dr. Odunga in herbal treatment. I was suffering from Cervical Cancer and infected with HPV 16. I used to have incessant bleeding and there was nothing I could do until a childhood friend introduced me to Dr. Odunga Remedies. I spoke with him and ordered his recommended medication which was delivered to me through DHL. Immediately I began using the herbal medicine, within a  week I couldn't feel any pain. It took me 2 weeks to finish the medicine and afterwards I was completely cured. I highly recommend that you contact him to help you at his email [email protected] OR What'sApp/Call him at +2348167159012

He is 100% reliable to help you too.

Do you find your problem hard for you? Are you finding it difficult looking for a reliable herbal healer to cure your cancer? I say this because I have been helped by Lord Krish Spiritual in restoring happiness into my life. My mother has been sick with Stage 4 Melanoma Cancer which nearly took the life of my mother. I was sad because of this sickness and I didn't know what to do to save my mother's life. I would never have met Lord Krish if my friend had not introduced him to me by telling me about a spell caster who has helped so many people worldwide. I contacted Lord Krish at [email protected] and within 3 days, I received herbal medicine from him through a courier and I used it on my mother. Within a week, mother was cured and healed. I would advise anyone out there to Contact Lord Krish at [email protected] and meet him to help you
