Grief & Bereavement Counseling
Grief and bereavement are profound topics that delve into the challenging process of recovering from the death of a loved one and reacting to various forms of loss. Both encompass a broad spectrum of emotions, including fear, anger, and profound sadness.
The journey of adapting to loss varies significantly from person to person, influenced by background, beliefs, the relationship with the departed individual, and other factors.
Common symptoms of grief can manifest physically, emotionally, or socially. Some prevalent symptoms in these categories include:
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
Social:
- Feeling detached from others
- Self-isolation from social contact
- Behaving in ways that are not typical for you
Every grieving experience is unique. A person may maintain their day-to-day routine after one loss but struggle to get out of bed after another. Regardless of individual symptoms, research has shown that grief and bereavement counseling can provide significant assistance.
