Bereavement Counselling

Bereavement Counselling Service
The loss through the death of important members of family or friends is the ultimate cause of grief but is an inevitable part of human life.

Bereavement is a major life crisis in the sense that life will never be the same again.

It is however possible to work through grief and build a new and fulfilling life. Although everyone's personal reaction to bereavement is different most people experience some of the following emotional responses (listed below) when someone close to them dies:

Disbelief / Numbness / Shock / Anger / Regrets / Self-Blame / Sadness / Relief / Guilt / Depression / Anxiety / Disturbed appetite & sleep patterns/ Despair / Longing / Loneliness
