Guidance for Grief and Life Transitions
Grief Counseling and Life Transition
Grief counseling can help you after you have suffered any sort of life-atering loss. Grief or any life transition can cause you to feel like you can’t function in the real world and make you want to hide away in your own space. You might feel shocked, angry, or numb, reaching for drugs or alcohol to make yourself feel better. Because other people often don’t know how to deal with their grieving loved ones, you might feel pressure to get over your grief before you’re really ready, causing you to shove your emotions down and not fully address the way you truly feel. This only prolongs the process and causes you more pain. In order to address your pain and move through the grieving process, you may need to seek the help of a licensed professional.
Symptoms of grief:
- Loss of appetite
- Persistent tightness in the chest area
- Withdrawal
- Feeling uncertain or disoriented
- Loneliness
- Intense sadness
- Anger
- Feeling like life has no meaning
Grief Counseling can help you with loss
Experiencing any form of loss can be a transition that is incredibly difficult to navigate.
Endings or losses of any kind are normal and inevitable. We run into them at all stages of our lives, and yet, we still have difficulties making sense of the emotions, thoughts, and feelings that come up whenever we are experiencing expected or unexpected changes.
It is normal to experience grief when something changes or we lose something. It is necessary, however, to go through the grieving process in order to heal and move forward. While it seems bleak and unattainable at first, with effort you can make space for your grief and the heavy feelings that follow.
