Bereavement Counselling in Northamptonshire

Empathy & Compassion

Bereavement, Grief & Loss

At some point in our lives, we all suffer bereavement, grief and loss. There’s no right or wrong way to grieve. Every loss is different and how we understand that loss is unique to each individual.

Grief is a natural response to loss. It’s the emotional suffering you feel when something or someone you love is taken away. Often, the pain of loss can feel overwhelming. You may experience all kinds of difficult and unexpected emotions, from shock or anger to disbelief, guilt, and profound sadness.

The pain of grief can also disrupt your physical health, making it difficult to sleep, eat, or even think straight. These are normal reactions to loss and the more significant the loss, the more intense your grief may be.

Loss takes many forms

Even subtle losses in life can trigger a sense of grief. For example, you might grieve after moving away from home, graduating from University, or changing jobs. The process of grief can bring up many, sometimes unexpected trains of thought -[br][br]• An examining of your life
• Questioning what is truly important to you, what you want from life and what gives your life meaning
• Relationships, to those gone, to those still here, and to yourself

No bereavement counsellor or therapist can take away your grief. We wouldn’t want to. After all, we need to grieve in order to heal. Therapy is not a ‘cure’ for the pain of bereavement. It’s simply a way to find a path through that pain.
