Grief Counselling

Grief can be the most desperate anguish you have ever experienced and in today’s world grief is often – and unfairly – given an expiration date.

When grief is the result of death it can mean reaching out for someone who’s always been there only to discover, that when you need them most, they are no longer there.

Rose does not believe in time parameters for grief. Instead, her role as a grief counsellor is to nurture your understanding and exploration of it and to provide a structure which will enable you to visit the loss again and again over time.

Causes of grief

  • Bereavements, such as the death of a child, an unexpected death or a suicide
  • Divorce or relationship breakdown
  • Career challenges including redundancy
  • Accident or major injury
  • Relationships challenges
  • Life changes including the process of ‘downsizing’
  • Terminal illness or disease
  • The death of a pet

Stories

Rose’s story

I am a grief and bereavement counsellor. My role is to support you find a passage with your pain and to provide information to normalise what you are experiencing. Many in our community struggle to understand the array of feelings that can bombard you in the midst of your loss.

Why go to a grief counsellor?

Everyone experiences grief, and then you get over it – right? This expression is so common, I can’t tell you how many times I have heard this spoken.

The other one that hurts is closure. How do you have closure – ending, finish, termination, cessation, a conclusion with someone you loved?

While the person is no longer in this world, your relationship still exists.
