The Covid-19 pandemic has brought with it grief of all sorts. There's the grief that most of us think of first: loss of life. That grief has been sudden and scary and difficult for so many people. Many are not able to attend funerals or hug their relatives or say goodbye the way they would like to. This can painfully start an already difficult grieving process. How do we grieve when we don't get to say goodbye? How do we say goodbye from the confines of our homes and without a formal service guiding us through. Grief counseling can help guide you through that difficult process. There are also other layers of grief that often go unnoticed, but are grief nonetheless. Nothing is normal anymore. Things feel unfamiliar and our daily lives are much different than just a few months ago. These experiences bring with them grief and loss. We have lost the familiar, the routine, the normal. We may feel lost, out of sorts, unproductive, exhausted. These are emotions found often in grief. Our lives have changed; change is loss. And loss brings grief. Grief therapy can help us create some frameworks to think about this new normal we're all experiencing. Outside of funerals, we aren't typically a society who expresses or engages with grief. We tend to attend a funeral and then grieve in solitude, if we even intentionally grieve at all. Healthy grieving is an active process. Intentionally engaging emotions and processing thoughts are parts of healthy grieving that can help us move forward well. Grief counseling can be very helpful in guiding you forward in your grief. Grief therapy can sound daunting or overwhelming but it is actually a very cathartic and healing experience. Our world is experiencing significant loss; your life is significantly changed. Grief counseling can help you to understand what you're feeling and learn to express your emotions in healthy ways.
