Bereavement counselling in Crawley

Denial – This can be experienced as disbelief that we have experienced the loss, an example of this can be returning home imagining that they will be there waiting for you.
Anger – Feelings and expressions of “why has this happened to me?” And very commonly being angry you have been left, or guilt of not saying or doing the right thing.
Bargaining – “If I am nicer or I change something within me perhaps it will make it easier, or prevent it from happening again.”
Sadness – “I will always feel this unhappy, I will never be able to smile or feel good about life again”. Feeling and experiencing a blackness that most find hard to describe.
Acceptance – “This is still very painful, but I am starting to feel that I can look forward to the future and remember good times together”.
The grieving process will vary from person to person with the experience being both personal and unique.

Counselling can be an invaluable support for most, which is a unique experience of relating with a supportive, listening, caring person who does not need us and who is detached enough to allow the experience without interference.
