Do you feel stuck in Grief and depressed, anxious, 
angry, empty, traumatized or lost? 

Do you struggle to move on from the pain of Loss of
a loved one, a job, a relationship, or a happy childhood,
but find you can't or don't know how?


Unresolved grief is a major barrier to happiness and fulfillment

Counselling can help you move past the pain of chronic grief!

 

Grief is a normal and necessary - though painful - response to losing someone or something we love and treasure.  Although every person grieves in their own unique way, there are some common features, including temporary preoccupation with the loss, sadness, fear, loneliness and disorientation.   How well you cope with grief will determine your emotional resilience and ability to rebound from the pain of your loss. 

Athough grief is a normal and ultimately healthy psychological process, it can become 'stuck', particularly in response to sudden or traumatic loss, or childhood neglect or abuse.  Incomplete recovery from grief can have lifelong negative effects on your capacity for happiness and psychological well being.  If you feel stuck in grief, or your grief symptoms have been intensifying and more than a year since your loss has gone by, counselling can help you recover from the pain and get your life back on track.

 
Chronic Grief & Loss Counselling can help Heal the Pain of:

  • Bereavement due to the death of a beloved person or animal companion, including traumatic, sudden death
  • Relationship loss - separation, divorce, common law and long term bonds
  • Longstanding grief in adults impacted by childhood
    abuse, trauma or neglect
  • Losses related to addiction - opportunities, health, relationships, death or growing up in an addicted household
  • Addictive behavior stemming from grief and loss
  • Socially unrecognized grief, such as early miscarriage, forced retirement, loss of same sex partner, chronic illness, etc.
  • Young Widows mourning loss of family hopes & dreams
  • Anxiety and depression from unresolved grief  
  • Homicide or Suicide 'Survivor Guilt'
  • Grief from providing care to disabled and/or terminally ill parents or other family members
  • Grief after exiting a cult or other authoritarian communities
  • Traumatic loss including violent crimes & other forms of victimization, accidents, chronic illness & disabilities
  • Multiple losses - recent or over a lifetime
  • Children and youth affected by grief and loss
  • Job loss resulting from workplace bullying or mobbing

There is Life After Loss. Counselling can assist you to get through recent or long term Loss,
and Grieve in healthy ways, so you can rebound feeling hopeful and resilient

A Few Words About Complicated Grief

Sometimes grieving people experience great difficulty coping with loss, and become overwhelmed by intense and persistent grief symptoms.  In situations where loss has been sudden, traumatic or death is involved, approximately 15% of people experience chronic grief, also known as complicated or traumatic grief.  Chronic grief can also occur in response to unresolved childhood trauma, as well as present day situations such as the loss of an important relationship or job.  If you - or someone you love - see your loss as devastating or insurmountable, normal reactions to loss can become symptoms that that interefere with life.  For example, sadness and anger can deteriorate into depression, bitterness, apathy or rage.  Other features of chronic or complicated grief can include a sense of disbelief regarding the loss, recurrent pangs of painful emotions with intense longing for a lost loved one, avoidance of situations that are reminders of the painful loss, and a preoccupation with thoughts of the loved one, often including distressing, intrusive thoughts related to the loss.  When your psychological coping skills become overloaded in this way the healing process becomes blocked, and unhealthy grief takes over.  Left untreated, chronic grief is associated with negative health outcomes, which may include major depression, suicidal thoughts or actions, substance abuse and persistent illness.


If you find that your grief is intensifying over time, and you feel hopeless, traumatized, anxious or want to give up, you may be suffering from chronic grief.  Fortunately people who are experiencing chronic grief can benefit tremendously from counselling to recover from the pain of their loss.  Therapy with Glynis focuses on healing the emotions, beliefs and memories surrounding loss, while simultaneously helping people recover hope and rebuild their lives. 

 

 
BP - Recovery from Traumatic Death of Spouse
"After losing my husband to substance abuse, I thought I could handle my grief on my own, until I realized that I couldn't. I had many things that I needed to talk through including the traumatic events that led up to my husband's death and my own ability to deal with his loss. Glynis was the silver lining that lined my dark cloud. She took the time to listen, understand, and she knew the right words to say to help me work through those traumatic events and feelings. The process of grief is a long one, but because of Glynis, I realized that I really wasn't going crazy and all the feelings and thoughts that I had were all a part of the journey to get better. Her understanding and calming manner were a comfort during those dark days. Each time we spoke, I felt a little bit better and now I can say that I feel like myself once again. Thank you Glynis for your help and for giving me the tools to work through the tough days and turn my grief into Good Grief!"
