GRIEF & LOSS

Navigating Grief and Loss

Coping with loss involves balancing pain with cherished memories. Therapy offers support in navigating the stages of grief, helping you uncover and cherish the warm memories of what or whom you have lost.

Signs of Unresolved Grief or Loss:

  • Persistent thoughts dominated by loss, coupled with difficulties concentrating, tearful episodes, and uncertainty about the future.

  • Experiencing multiple losses (e.g., deaths, divorces, job changes) leading to feelings of depression and discouragement.

  • Strong emotional reactions when discussing losses.

  • Physical symptoms such as lack of appetite, weight loss, insomnia, and other signs of depression following the loss.

  • Feelings of guilt or self-blame for not preventing the loss.

  • Avoidance of discussing the loss beyond superficial conversations.

  • Lack of a support network due to physical or emotional changes.

Moving Forward with Grief Counselling:

To progress after a significant loss, it's essential to identify, express, and clarify your emotions connected to the loss. Grief counselling at the Meilan Counselling Clinic provides a supportive environment to address conflicts related to lost relationships, loved ones, career changes, or personal identity. Our therapists can assist you in:

  • Developing awareness of how grieving, whether conscious or unconscious, has impacted your life.

  • Completing the healing process to release and let go of the loss.

  • Resolving feelings of loss and starting to rebuild old relationships while forging new connections.
