Grief Counseling

Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross and David Kessler stated an important learning from loss and grief —— “The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not ‘get over’ the loss of a loved one; you’ll learn to live with it. You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same nor would you want to.”

Yet sometimes the journey of grief gets detoured. We stay in it year after year. We don't know what it means to "live with it". We don't feel the healing, we only feel the suffering continues. We become more and more isolated in our pain. That might be the time to consider some grief counseling. We will explore together whether it is OK for you to walk out of this dark room, and what it would be like to open the door to the outside world again.
