What is Grief?

Grief can take many forms. Sometimes, it follows the sudden loss of someone you thought would always be part of your life. Other times, it comes after witnessing a loved one slowly decline from a long-term illness—the goodbye stretched out over months or years. However it happens, losing someone close to you is never easy. The emotions that follow often come in waves, and that’s okay—they’re a reflection of the love and connection you shared. This is where grief counselling can offer support.

Grief isn’t only tied to the loss of a person. It can also arise from a loss of identity or life as you once knew it. This might be the result of a physical disability that limits your abilities, the loss of a job that gave you purpose, or receiving a terminal diagnosis and grieving the future you had imagined. Grief can also follow the passing of a beloved pet, whose presence brought daily comfort and unconditional love.

Whatever form your loss takes, it’s important to take time to process it. Grief counselling provides a space to honor your pain, reflect on what’s been lost, and begin to find a way forward.

How Can Grief Counselling Help with Loss?

No matter the cause or circumstances, loss leaves a deep impact. There is no set timeline for grief—no “right” moment when it should end. What matters most is giving yourself the space and permission to feel and process the emotions that come with it.

Grief counselling offers one meaningful way to work through that process. It begins with a safe, non-judgmental space where you can express your feelings openly and honestly. Together, we’ll explore your loss and reflect on why this person, relationship, or part of your life meant so much to you.

From there, we’ll begin to shape a path forward—one that allows you to continue living in a way that honours your loved one’s memory. Together, we’ll work to preserve their legacy while helping you rediscover hope and meaning in your own life.
