Death and other losses: Grief, Mourning and Bereavement

Because life can change in ways you couldn't predict – or choose.

Loss touches every part of who we are. It includes not just bereavement, but also thoughts about our own and our loved ones' mortality, fears around suicide, experiences of illness, separations, infertility, migrations, just to name a few – any journey that forces us to confront what we cannot control.

What this can look like

  • Shock, disbelief, numbness

  • Anger, guilt, shame

  • Sadness, despair

  • Withdrawal, and/or inability to be alone

  • Physical symptoms (exhaustion, pain, sleep changes)

  • Searching for meaning

  • Feeling lost

  • Unwanted memories

  • Unexpected waves of emotions difficult to make sense of

  • Irrational thoughts (things we could have done, or could still do to 'fix the situation'), denial of loss

I help normalise those parts of loss that we can see as unacceptable – for example, anger directed to the dead, or spiritual questions we have – without rushing towards closure. There is not a right or wrong way to work through grief. Ultimately we all navigate and experience loss in our own unique way. What I can do is support you in adjusting to the change that life imposed upon you.
