Don’t be afraid to seek emotional support from a professional if you are struggling to cope with day-to-day life.

Grief counselling can be helpful at the time of loss or long after, to provide an opportunity for you to work through the painful thoughts and feelings attached to your memories.  Although the sadness may always be with you, learning to live with grief can free you to move forward in your life in positive ways.

Grief counselling can guide you towards letting go of regrets, forgiving others and perhaps saying the things that you are finding it difficult to say.

Counsellors are able to provide objective, non judgemental and compassionate support at this very difficult time to help you to gain a greater sense of peace and security.
