NI Counselling Treatment to help with Bereavement
NI Counselling provides compassionate and understanding support to help you navigate the difficult journey of bereavement. Our team of experienced counsellors recognises that grief is a deeply personal experience, and they are committed to offering a safe space where you can express your feelings without judgment. In individual sessions, they listen attentively as you share your thoughts and emotions, helping you process the pain of loss at your own pace. The counsellors at NI Counselling offer gentle guidance to help you find meaning in your grief, honor your loved one, and gradually move towards healing. They understand that each person’s experience of loss is unique, and they are there to support you through every stage of your grieving process, helping you rebuild a sense of peace and well-being in your life.
What is Bereavement?
Bereavement refers to the period of grief and mourning following the death of a loved one. It is a normal and natural response to loss, involving a range of emotional, physical, and psychological reactions. The process of bereavement can vary widely among individuals, depending on factors such as the nature of the relationship, circumstances of the death, personal coping mechanisms, cultural practices, and previous experiences with loss. While most people gradually adapt to their loss, some may experience complicated grief, where the symptoms of bereavement are intense, prolonged, and interfere significantly with daily life. In such cases, professional intervention is crucial to help the individual work through their grief and find a path to healing.
Symptoms of Bereavement.
- Sadness and Depression: Profound feelings of sorrow and despair, often accompanied by crying.
- Numbness and Shock: Initial feelings of numbness or disbelief, particularly if the death was sudden or unexpected.
- Yearning and Longing: Intense desire to be reunited with the deceased, often accompanied by dreams or vivid memories.
- Sleep Disturbances: Difficulty falling or staying asleep, insomnia, or oversleeping.
- Preoccupation with the Deceased: Persistent thoughts and memories of the deceased, sometimes feeling their presence.
- Social Withdrawal: Avoiding social interactions and isolating oneself from friends and family.
