Grief Counseling
This grief can trigger a range of feelings from deep sadness to anger and even unexplained anxiety. It can also involve guilt, longing, and regret. Associated emotions can vary in their intensity and come in random waves, which can add to the confusion of it all.
The process of adapting to a significant loss varies from one individual to another. You may have spoken to a friend or family member about the different “stages of grief”, but the truth is that no two people experience grief in the exact same way.
For some it could take a matter of months to process the emotions, for others it could take years or sometimes even a lifetime.
The Experience of Grief
People in grief can experience different thoughts as they make sense of their loss. They may assign themselves varying levels of responsibility, from “there was nothing I could have done”, to “it’s all my fault”. Grieving behaviors also vary from sharing their feelings with others to being alone and turning to social withdrawal.
No one way of grieving is better than any other. Some people are stoic and may seek distraction from the loss. Others are more emotional and delve deep into their feelings.
Grieving is a part of life and its many challenges, but that doesn’t make it easier for those facing the loss of family and loved ones. It’s natural to feel overwhelmed as you find yourself facing these difficult feelings.
