Grief Counselling
Grieving the loss of a loved one can be incredibly difficult, especially for adults and seniors. To help you through this challenging time, grief counselling offers compassionate support and guidance to anyone coping with loss and sorrow. Grief counselling is available to assist with managing your unique situation as you heal.
How Does Grief Counselling Help?
A mental health therapist can help you understand your individual needs for grief therapy and help connect you with helpful resources for recovery. They can also help you make the necessary connections with a community of others facing similar difficulties as yourself - giving you the opportunity to take back control over your life's narrative. If you're finding it difficult to cope with the loss of a loved one, grief counseling can help you. You may benefit from mental health services if you're having trouble sleeping, struggling to eat, or experiencing symptoms of anxiety.
The Difference Between Grief and Depression
Whether you’re coping with a recent loss or navigating long-term grief, it's essential to understand the difference between grief and depression. Grief is an expected reaction of sorrow that may also bring about feelings of anger, anxiety, and guilt—while depressive symptoms can include changes in mood, energy levels, sleep patterns, appetite, and difficulty concentrating.
BeYou with Candidar offers compassionate support while helping adults and seniors navigate grief. If you're experiencing symptoms of grief, please reach out to your family doctor or nurse practitioner to talk about your mental health options.
Grief counselling can provide you with valuable tools, resources and connections in order to equip you with the support system you need for healing and growth.
What to Expect From Adult and Senior Mental Health Services
In grief counselling, you'll meet with a therapist who will provide mental health support and guidance as you work through your grief. You'll be able to talk about your feelings, learn about the grieving process, and develop healthy coping strategies.
Treatment sessions typically last 50 minutes to an hour, and most people benefit from weekly sessions.
How to Make The Most of Your Grief Counselling Sessions
Working with a therapist as you grief can help you to move forward from your loss. Your success in counselling relies heavily on an atmosphere of openness, honesty, and courage – taking the time to discuss any feelings or doubts that come up during your sessions, being willing to experiment with different treatment methods like journaling or attending support groups, and asking questions along the way.
