Bereavement, Grief and Loss Counselling

Helping Adults find meaning and joy in life again.

Life’s challenges can feel dark, heavy, or even impossible to deal with. Most people who start bereavement, grief and loss counselling feel like they are going round in circles, repeating negative emotions. Perhaps you can relate. Maybe you don’t look forward to much or you feel like you want to escape your life.

Stuck in negativity and feeling hopeless, you may feel like life is overwhelming, like it’s too much.

Do any of the following resonate with you?

• You feel lonely, even when you are with others.
• You lost the joyful feelings that you used to have in life.
• You feel dread, fear, strange thoughts, and a pounding heart.
• You know that sadness isn’t helpful but getting out of it alone isn’t possible.

If these sound true for you, I want you to know that in our society, we don’t talk about it very much, but what you are experiencing is normal.

Reaching out for help can provide you with the support and encouragement you need. Self-care is not an indulgence or a selfish act. In fact, it is especially important to take care of yourself when you have the responsibility of caring for others.

It’s possible to feel better. Imagine a life where you could…

• Shift into a more positive and hopeful outlook on life.
• Figure out who you are and what direction to go in next.
• Create a more meaningful life based on who you are and what you desire.
• Have the loving relationships you’ve always wanted.

Bereavement, grief and loss counselling helps you rise above your challenges and start moving towards your ideal life with less less stress and more calm

You will get you the fresh perspective you need to start taking care of yourself and find your way through difficult feelings and situations.
