Grief & Loss Counseling is available for adults, adolescents, and children. People experiencing adjustment issues for grief and loss may be working through issues of: addiction, incarceration, divorce, rejection, infertility, degenerative health problems, death of a loved one, or the end of an important relationship.
When a loved one or significant person dies, their passing is experienced differently by different people. The intensity and length of time it takes to adjust depends on variables including: age, relationship, level of social support, and whether the death was expected, or occurred suddenly, without warning. Also, grief can be ‘complicated’ by other factors, such as Alzheimer’s disease, where a person loses their memories, identity, and ceases to be the person they once were.
Grief is a natural reaction to a major loss. It takes time to adjust to losing a special person, a friend, a connection, and the unique place in the ‘world’ they inhabited.
Kübler-Ross’ Five Stages: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance
Although it is helpful for clients to work through Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’ Five Stages of Grief (acronym: DABDA), grieving is a process with unique features for each individual. There is no ‘right way’ to grieve, and it takes some people longer than others to feel better.
