Bereavement Counseling…

Does it really help? What does is involve? I am considering this but I really know nothing about it. I have searched for information but everything is so vague. Thanks :) x

It is common thought in psychology that there is a process we all go through when dealing with loss… the grief process has five stages; Denial, Bargining, Depression, Anger and Acceptance. It is thought that those that have dealt with great loss go through at least 2 if not more of these emotions. Every dealing with loss must eventually accept the loss in order to move forward. Breavement Counseling attempts to lead the peron who experienced loss through these stages, to help them recognize them for what they are. I’m not sure what side of the fence you are on, your post was not clear about that…but if you have experienced great loss you have my sympathies
Bright blessings~

When my brother died I used to look for him in crowds. That was right after he died. As Richard has stated above that is a part of the denial stage. I agree with Richard. It sounds like you could be stuck somewhere in the process and need a little help getting through it.
I pray that you will find peace.

Oh, it is written on my profile. I lost my dad to lung cancer/pneumonia 6 months ago and I feel worse than ever. The problem is that I keep having dreams that he comes back home from the hospital and he is healthy and happy, the joy I feel when I see him is soon shattered when I wake up and realise that it wasn’t real. I have recognised that I am not coping very well (after talking with my mam) and it is making me really ill. I have called an bereavement organisation and I was just wondering if anyone has ever recieved this type of counseling, and also if it helped. Sorry if I was vague, I had just come back from the doctors (to see about the counseling) and I was in a terrible mood.

I lost my 18 year old daughter 9 weeks ago. The pain in my heart is unbearable! Her friends let her dye and never called 911 to get her help. All she did for all of them they were never there for her. Her friend will pay the price from God and suffer on a daily basis. She was my every breath the love of my life. My little girl.
Deandra May I love you always

My heart breaks for you. Why are people so uncaring? Why Deandra May? I do not know. I will pray for you and your family.
