PTSD Counselling Near Me
Find a compassionate, evidence-based grief counsellor
Grief is a natural and deeply personal response to loss, often arising after the death of a loved one, but also following other significant life changes such as divorce, illness diagnosis for oneself or a loved one, or job loss. It can manifest emotionally, physically, and behaviorally—through sadness, anger, fatigue, changes in appetite, and disrupted
sleep. While grief varies from person to person, emotions typically tend to become less intense over time as the individual adapts to the loss. However, for some individuals, grief may become prolonged or complicated, interfering with daily functioning and well-being. In these cases, emotions do not decrease in intensity over time, life can feel
meaningless, and one can experience significant impairments in their one’s ability to work or connect with others for a prolonged period of time. Recognizing when grief becomes overwhelming is the first step toward healing.
