Grief Counseling
Grief Counseling
Grief counseling includes emotional expression and processing about the loss, accepting the loss, adjusting to life after the loss, and coping with the changes within oneself and the world after the loss. Common feelings experienced by individuals, and addressed in grief counseling, include sadness, anxiety, anger, loneliness, guilt, relief, isolation, confusion, or numbness. Behavioral changes may also be noticed during the grieving process, such as being disorganized, feeling tired, having trouble concentrating, sleep problems, appetite changes, vivid dreams, or daydreaming about the deceased.

Grief counseling helps the individual identify normal phases and experiences of the grieving process, cope with the emotional and sometimes physical pain associated with the loss, feel supported through the range of feelings surrounding life changes that may arise after the loss, and develop strategies for seeking ongoing support and self-care.
