Grief and Loss

Grief and loss are prevalent in our day to day lives. It doesn’t always have to look like death, loss can show up in many other ways as well. Grief and loss are present in major life transitions, such as, retirement, moving, separation or divorce, changes in family dynamics, marriage, loss of job, relationships, or house, etc.

We typically go through the 5 stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance. However, this process is not linear, as you can experience acceptance one day and anger the next. Grief can look different for everyone, as there is no “right way” to grieve.

If you are going through a life transition or loss and are looking for extra support, consider grief counselling to help guide you through.
