We all face loss as a matter of course during our lives.
Some of these losses are expected, and others are quite
sudden. A number of these losses will have a serious impact
on our lives, beliefs, and at times our wellbeing.
Some of the issues for which people might
seek counselling support include:
the ending of a relationship,
job loss,
relocation,
miscarriage
serious illness,
the closure of a business,
declining health and
the death of someone significant
In addition, all of lifes transitions
contain an element of loss from our first day at school
through to the losses we face in ageing.
Grief is a healthy and normal response to
loss. But it can be very painful and often challenges us
beyond our usual ability to cope. Reactions to loss may
occur immediately, or many months and even years after, and
can present in a number of different ways.
For example:
guilt
depression
overwhelming sadness
debilitating anxiety
loss of interest and energy for life
poor health
physical and emotional exhaustion
Narelles counselling practice offers individuals, couples,
families and groups the opportunity to explore specific
losses in their lives, and work through the processes of
adapting to a life forever changed.
