What is Grief?
Grief is a natural and complex emotional response to loss. It’s a deeply personal experience that can involve a range of feelings, such as sadness, anger, guilt, and despair. Grief is not limited to the loss of a loved one through death; it can also arise from any significant change or end in life, such as the loss of a job, a relationship, health, or even a way of life.
While grief is often associated with emotional responses, it can also manifest physically and mentally, affecting one’s overall well-being.
What is Grief Therapy?
Grief Therapy is a specialized form of counseling that acknowledges the unique challenges of navigating loss. It focuses on helping individuals navigate the challenging terrain of loss.
The aim of Grief Therapy is not to ‘cure’ grief, as grief is a natural response, not a disorder. Instead, therapists work with individuals to process their emotions, develop coping strategies, and find a way to continue living in a way that honors their loss while also caring for their own well-being.
It provides a safe space to express emotions, understand the grieving process, and gradually adjust to a new reality.
