What is Grief?

Loss leaves an indescribable emptiness in our lives and the messiness of grief and mourning that follows can feel overwhelming. Perhaps you feel uncertain how to move forward with this new reality. Maybe it feels like you aren’t sure how to grieve or what it should look like. You may feel a deep aching mourning or a sense of peace with the loss. Either way, you do not have to experience grief and loss alone. Grief counselling supports grief with grace, in the style that fits YOU best.

What grief might look like:

  • Intense sorry and pain

  • Moments of uncontrollable tears and weeping

  • Rumination on your lost loved one’s death

  • Extreme focus on reminders of the loved one

  • Avoidance of reminders of the loved one

  • Intense or persistent longing

  • Isolation and withdrawal

  • Daily life (hygiene, nutrition, etc) dysfunction
