GRIEF AND LOSS

What Do You Mean By Grief and Loss?

Loss is an inevitable part of life, and grief is a natural part of the healing process. The reasons for grief are many, such as the loss of a loved one, the loss of health, or the letting go of a long-held dream. Dealing with a significant loss can be one of the most difficult times in a person’s life. People may experience grief and loss after the death of a loved one, divorce or separation, loss of a job, or significant life changes. Grief counseling is not needed until it disrupts daily life, lasts longer than expected, or triggers intense emotions that interfere with functioning. Professional therapy services provide support, validation, and coping strategies to navigate the grieving process effectively.

Different Kinds of Loss

Feelings of loss are very personal, and only you know what is significant to you. People commonly associate certain losses with strong feelings of grief. These can include:

• Loss of a close friend
• Death of a partner
• Death of a classmate or colleague
• Serious illness of a loved one
• Relationship breakup
• Death of a family member
• Subtle or less obvious losses can also cause strong feelings of grief,
• even though those around you may not know the extent of your
• feelings. Some examples include:
• Leaving home
• Illness/loss of health
• Infertility/Miscarriage
• Death of a pet
• Change of job
• Move to a new home
• Graduation from school
• Loss of physical ability
• Loss of financial security
• Loss of Addiction
• Loss of Lifestyle
