What we once enjoyed and deeply loved, we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes part of us.

Grief and loss counselling can provide a safe and non-judgemental space where you can unravel and come to make some sense of the often complex, scary, uncertain and messy feelings that come with grief and loss. 

You might have already felt the pressures from the outside world weighing heavily on you to "move on", "be happy again", to "get over it", when that is the last thing you feel you can manage right now.  Often it can be really hard to imagine a life where you can be happy again, with such a void that has been left in you now. 

Perhaps you are grieving with others, but their journey is different than yours and you can't relate or don't want to burden others with your grieving journey. You might be feeling that others don't truly understand exactly what you are feeling and experiencing. This can sometimes lead to feeling angry and resentful, which adds more complexity and weight to what you are already carrying with the grief and loss.

Other times we carry complex feelings of guilt, shame, anger, resentment and confusion on loosing a relationship with a family member, parent, partner, child or friend that caused us harm. We often don't know how to make sense of all of these feelings and thoughts and become stuck in our own grief. Counselling can help make sense and bring about understanding through exploring the meanings behind these feelings. 

Or maybe your grief and loss come from the loss of a pet, a job, your home, your life dreams or a close relationship where others have wonderful intentions of helping you "move on" and send you inspiring and encouraging messages, but you just don't feel that they truly understand. Maybe in trying to support you, they hold their own judgements and expectations that prevent you from fully opening up to them - leading to feeling more alone and isolated in your grieving journey. 

However you may be grieving, I am happy you have landed here, looking at options so you do not have to face this alone. 

When the time feels right for you, I encourage you to reach out, so you don't have to travel this path by yourself.
