If you have experienced the death of someone who was very important to you, it can be very difficult to adjust to the immense changes happening in your life.

Bereavement is the time spent adjusting to the loss.

Everyone feels differently

Everyone copes in their own way and there is no right or wrong way to feel. Grief, although normal, can manifest in a huge range of ways.

You may feel angry you may withdraw into yourself or become completely numb and / or feel overwhelming sadness and loss.

Sometimes grief can turn into depression.

Support during bereavement

Counselling can support you during this time and will allow you to adjust to the changes and acknowledge your feelings and the loss and help you move forward.

Denying your feelings can prolong your pain.
