Bereavement

Loss is a part of our lives and society acknowledges this in the rituals it offers to deal with it; funerals, leaving parties, divorce procedures. But what happens after the official ritual? Often the initial sensitivity shown by our environment when we have suffered a loss is time-limited. We feel pressure to 'get on with life' while a deep sadness is growing within us that cannot be talked about anymore.

This modern taboo can lead to 'dis-ease' or a feeling of being stuck and disoriented that seems to be impossible to shift. The therapeutic environment offers a safe place for clients to come to terms with their grief at their own pace so that they can move on once they are ready.
