Loss and Bereavement

When we lose a relationship with someone that we know and love, whether through a separation or through death it produces a wide range of emotions. In the case of bereavement, when someone has died, the experience is usually more shocking, more deeply felt and longer lasting. However there are many similarities to other separations that we experience in life. Often people experience an initial shock, which is often but not always experienced as numbness. This can be followed by any of the following; anger, confusion, hurt, sorrow, shame, desperation, remorse, repentance. There is often but not always a pattern of grieving, however not everyone experiences this, and it does not matter what your pattern is. What really matters is that people have support and understanding. That they’re not under extra pressure, and they can find somewhere to express all the things they need to.

If you or someone you know is going through a period of grief and it seems that some professional support could be of use, then don’t hesitate to call.
