Bereavement support
Grief is the powerful physical and emotional reaction to the loss of someone or something.
The grief journey can be overwhelming and very frightening. People often experience strong emotions, have trouble sleeping and feel confused and isolated.
Grief is not a mental health problem but it does impact our mental health.
People in grief are surprised to discover that grief can drive physical symptoms or disturb clarity of mind just as an illness might. One of the most commonly distressing symptoms people grieving report is feeling as though they have lost brain capacity.
Loss and the way we feel it is very individual. No two people grieve or feel the same way. Some grievers may suddenly feel very anxious and hypervigilant, while others may feel sedated and spacy.
There is no right way to grieve but a grievers task is to find ways that feel right for them. You do not need to prove or explain your grief to anyone at any time, and you don’t have to be left to find your own way either.
Having the right support at the right time as you navigate your way through the grief journey may interrupt the development of more serious symptoms.
I am a trained bereavement supporter, and available to help you. I listen without judgement and without trying to fix you. I have experienced profound loss myself, therefore knowing what it feels like to reside in grief and loss. My husband was killed in a road traffic accident in 1987 when I was just twenty-five and both my parents died within months of each other in 2016 leaving me shocked and bewildered. Now I am able to help others navigate their way through their grief process.
Why do I want to offer bereavement support?
My grief journey felt pretty brutal. The training I went through showed me that the way we process the loss of our loved ones can be a much gentler and kinder journey. Society still puts time limits on grieving and expects us to ‘get over’ the loss and 'let the person go' so we can move on, but that is not the way the grief process works. Grief is not consistent and neither is our ability to address it.
We gradually build a new life around our grief. Our brain needs time to process the loss and no two people feel the same or react the same way to their loss.
