Grief, Loss & Life Stage Changes

Grief and grieving is a personal journey, there's no right or wrong way to grieve. There's no order in which your sadness, pain, disbelief or acceptance should present itself.

​

Whether it be the loss of a loved one,  or another significant loss, feeling bereft, sad, confused, regretful or uncertain about the future are perfectly  normal human responses that need to be acknowledged.

Remembering a loved one  and ‘feeling’ that loss is an important part of grieving. Sharing memories and emotions within a safe and non-judgmental space can allow a grieving process to deepen and discovery of ways to honour your memories and find space for them  in your life.

We also grieve for other significant losses – relationships ending, the end of a career or significant life stages, such as children leaving home, becoming a parent or retirement. These losses are not always validated by others yet still need to be understood and processed 

Whilst loss and life stages may be unavoidable or anticipated, it doesn’t diminish the significant impact these experiences have on our wellbeing.  Seeking support can help to  process these experiences and regain          a new sense of self
