Bereavement Counselling Southampton
Are you tired of people saying 'time will heal you or 'you will just have to work through it?' These cliches have little meaning to us without some solid advice on how to get through one of the most traumatic events of our life, the loss of a loved one. There are no schools for these strategies and there are not many people who are able to share how they 'worked' through their grief. The truth is that those of us who have lost a loved one sometimes do not know how we got through our grief or if we are really through it.
Grief can be a very, very lonely experience. Even though others may be grieving, our grief is unique and somewhat isolating because of it. The bereaved are often concerned of being judged by others on the duration, the intensity, and extent of the grief. "Surely those who cried at the funeral must have loved him more. Why can't I cry?" The reality is that grief is such an intense shock to our system we are often surprised by our response. However, when you are ready to share your feelings I have been trained extensively within bereavement counselling to help you cope with the day to day anguish of grief.
Whether your loss was recent or many years ago I can offer you that unconditional space to explore your thoughts and feelings.
