Grief and Loss
The pain of grief differs from any pain we feel during our lives. Grief brings up intense, sometimes conflicting, emotions. Grief therapy is not focused on leaving the past behind but rather on constructing a new existence that embraces grief and allows it to coexist within our lives.
HOW CAN ROYA COUNSELLING SUPPORT YOU WITH grief?
- We honor your unique grieving journey; there is no right or wrong way to grieve and no right or wrong way to feel as you grieve. Sadness, anger, numbness and even relief are normal reactions to grief.
- Together we will make space for the intense waves of emotions that grief brings to help you feel “held” as you grieve.
- We will work on tools that can support you through your grief and anchor you in the face of intense emotions.
- We will explore how you can take care of your day-to-day physical and emotional well-being and ask for support when necessary.
Different forms of grief:
