Making Progress With Grief Counseling

By Jason Hughes


It is not easy to lose someone that you love. Often, you will find that you have to reinvent yourself and make completely new adjustments in your life in order to start fresh. It doesn't mean that you have to forget about the person that has died. This is impossible to do and most people are unable to do this. However, when you do make the effort with grief counseling you will find that you are making progress and you will move forward with this process.

It is very traumatic for the person who loses someone, especially when it happens by means of a car accident or during a kidnapping. This can affect you for the rest of your life unless you receive support. People who do receive counselling, however, will begin to see that there is a light at the other end of the tunnel. They will work in different ways so that post traumatic stress disorder does not become overwhelming for them and take over their lives.

It can also affect you when you have suffered in your childhood years. You may have blocked this out. However, you never forget about the memories. They will exist in your subconscious. You may have suffered in your young days when a parent died and you were feeling abandoned.

A group is different because you will begin to identify with them. You can begin to share what you have been through based on what they tell you. You will connect on a deeper level in this way. Of course, different types of therapies are for different people.

There are different techniques that a counsellor like this will use. It can depend on the situation. For example, there will be families that need to be counselled together. They need to find a way where they will have to readjust to a new way of life. Sometimes you have to reinvent yourself, especially when you have lost someone who was very dear to you. You may become depressed, anxious and withdrawn. The motivation and encouragement that you receive at this time can be extremely valuable.

It can be a time of confusion because you will be angry and you will want to blame your loved one. You will also want to blame God and you will feel bad about this. On the other hand, you will miss the person who has died. This is something that goes around in your mind on a daily basis.

When you find that it is affecting the way in which you relate to others at work and in the home environment, you definitely need to talk to someone about this. You may even be referred to a psychiatrist. Medication can be helpful. But it is necessary on a temporary basis.
