BEREAVEMENT COUNSELLING WHAT, WHY,WHEN & HOW?

Picking up the phone and admitting to a stranger that you are suffering from the death of someone close is a big step. This is the first and hardest step to getting your life back into shape. What is it? It is talking to someone experienced in helping bereaved people. It involves confidential private sessions to discuss how you feel and relate them to the stages of grief. It might take one or two sessions or up to 6 or more. Why do it? Are you unhappy with your daily life and feel your life is hopeless? It could be affecting your health, family or work. There are many reasons, but with all of them there is something impacting your ability to move on.

When? You may need counselling anytime from soon after the death through to years later. At sometime you will realise you are stuck in your thoughts and need help. How? Find a counsellor who specialises in bereavement? (Google search or go to counselling-directory.co.uk). Most counsellors will give you a long list of all the types of counselling they offer. There are very few who specialise in bereavement. Pick-up the phone, call the specialist. You do not need a Doctors referral. Bereavement is a sensitive subject, and you need someone who understands the emotions you are going through. You need someone who can relate to you. You will never forget the deceased, but you will be able to move your life forward.
