Bereavement Counselling
Death and bereavement is something we will all face at some point during our lifetime. However in knowing this nothing prepares us for how we will feel or how we will respond or react. At times it can feel a very lonely experience as it can feel as though you are the only person who has felt this way. You are now alone.
Types of bereavement
A person can feel bereaved when anything or anyone who has been significant in their life ends or leaves them. This could include:
• Death of family, friends, colleagues or pets
• Retirement
• Moving house
• End of a relationship
• Child starting school/leaving home
• Leaving a job
Whilst everyone’s bereavement experience is individual there universal stages of grief, and it is hoped that by explaining the five general stages of normal grief, the bereaved person will better understand their experiences and emotions.
