Grief Counselling

Understanding Grief and loss

Grieving is an inherently personal and universal experience, a natural reaction to losing something or someone significant in our lives. This loss can manifest in various forms, from the death of a beloved family member or friend, the end of a cherished relationship, or the loss of a pregnancy to significant changes in one's career or lifestyle. Other less-acknowledged forms of loss include

• diminishing physical abilities,

• undergoing substantial life transitions,

• coping with infertility or

• facing separation from friends and family due to relocation or other circumstances.

Each loss we endure brings about its unique blend of emotional responses, with grief at its core.

The intensity of grief can vary greatly, often mirroring the depth of the connection to what was lost. It's a complex, multifaceted response encompassing many emotions, from profound sadness and anger to shock, anxiety, regret, and even relief. Some individuals find themselves overwhelmed by the weight of their grief, feeling isolated, irritable, or emotionally numb. Grief doesn't follow a linear path; it encompasses different stages, including denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. However, it's important to note that not everyone will experience all these stages, nor will they necessarily progress in this order. Each person's journey through grief is unique, and the duration of the grieving process can vary widely.

In a modern city like Singapore, where the cultural tapestry is rich and diverse, how individuals experience and express grief is connected to the culture, religion, and society. Recognising this, our grief therapists and counsellors provide culturally sensitive grief therapy in Singapore and online for those residing overseas.
