Counselling for Grief and Loss

Grief and Loss at VIVA Therapy

 

You’ve been holding onto your grief like a cloak, unable to move through it.

You are hurting, experiencing something painfully new—a deep and profound sense of loss.

​

Since your loss, you feel changed. You never doubted your ability to handle life’s challenges, yet when this happened, your world shifted. Everything you once knew, planned for, and expected has been turned upside down.

​

Now, grief lingers in your everyday life. You move through your days in a haze, struggling to believe what has happened—to you, your loved ones, or the future you had imagined. Some days, the emotions are overwhelming. Other days, you feel nothing at all, as if you’ve shut down completely.

​

It’s impossible to ignore that something significant has happened. But you don’t want to remain in mourning forever. You want to regain control of your life and trust yourself again.

​

Yet, you never anticipated just how difficult this would be. That something so unexpected could impact you so deeply. And now, you find yourself trying to rebuild—piece by piece.

​

You’re getting through each day, but simply going through the motions isn’t enough.

​

✼ Rebuild connections with friends and family so you don’t have to grieve alone
✼ Let go of guilt and shame that may be tied to your loss
✼ Find ways to support yourself through grief, integrating both your body and mind in the healing process
