Trying to ignore your grief or keep it from surfacing will only make it worse. For real healing, it is best to face your grief and actively deal with it.One of the most helpful ways of coping with grief is with the support of others. Talking to family members and friends can be a big help. Some people benefit from seeing a therapist.
There comes a point when many who are living with grief begin to think that their friends are tired of hearing about their struggle. The grieving person may feel that they need to be strong for their family. They may decide that they shouldn’t keep talking about their grief because it only makes others sad. All this self-talk only keeps you, the person who is grieving, in a cycle of sorrow.
This is where I come in. Let me be clear, I’m not a licensed theapist. Instead, I’m someone who lives with grief. I have also been privileged to accompany others in their grief. As a grief companion, my role is to walk alongside you and listen deeply as you share your experience of loss. By walking beside you, we will explore ways to honor your grief as we seek healing and a new normal.
