Counseling for Grief & Loss
Grief & Loss aren’t light-hearted topics.
Grief is a reaction for any form of loss and encompasses a wide range of emotions such as guilt, fear, anger, loneliness and deep, deep sadness. The process of adapting to a loss can dramatically change from person to person. Common symptoms of grief and loss can be physical, emotional or social.
A few common symptoms in these categories are:
Physical
- Crying and sighing
- Headaches
- Loss of appetite
- Difficulty sleeping
- Weakness
- Fatigue
Emotional
- Feelings of sadness and yearning
- Feelings of worry or anger
- Feelings of frustration or guilt
Social
- Feeling detached from others
- Self-isolation from social contact
- Behaving in ways that are not normal for you
Everyone grieves differently. There is also no time frame nor set stages as our culture tells us. Furthermore, a person may be able to continue their day-to-day routine after one loss, yet not be able to get out of bed after the loss of someone else. Whatever your personal symptoms are, grief and loss counseling have been proven to help.
