Grief & Loss

When someone you love dies, you are often told that you have to be strong, to remember the good times you shared and to just move on. Yet grieving well is not a process of erasing grief but rather a process of making it more liveable.

What gets in the way of healing? Why are some deaths more diffcult to get over than others? Why do the tears keep flowing well after the death? How do you cope when it feels as though your world has fallen apart? As we become dislodged from our sense of who we are, how do we make sense of the world? What guides us and how do we endure the intensity of the pain we are feeling? When we have an increasing need to be busy and to get things done are we still grieving? Is it ok to have breaks from the intensity of the loss?

Grieving is a process of relearning the way the world works and relearning the self. Grief counselling provides support for the complex and idiosyncratic needs of someone who is grieving. It helps provide a ‘scaffold’ in which to support the grief and to assist with creating a secure footing to reengage with the world again.

After working with families, couples and individuals who have encountered loss and change in their lives, I decided my passion lies in the area of loss following the death of a loved one. I would like to support you on and through this journey. I would like to help cope with the ambivalent and complicated nature of death. I can assist you to develop skills to make life more manageable.
