Compassionate online grief counselling after the loss of a loved one. Support that follows your pace, without stages or timelines imposed on you.
You do not need to identify with all of these. Even a few is reason enough to talk to someone.
Grief is not a disorder to be cured; it is the cost of having loved someone. The older idea of fixed stages has largely been set aside in favour of a model where people oscillate between confronting the loss and getting on with life, and both are necessary. Difficulty tends to arise not from grieving 'wrongly' but from grieving without space — a common experience in Indian families where ritual obligations, extended-family expectations and a swift return to work can leave the bereaved person with no unclaimed hours in which to feel anything.
What the work actually involves, session by session.
Fifty minutes in which you are not consoling anyone, minimising for anyone's comfort, or performing recovery.
These are ordinary parts of grief, and they are the parts people feel least able to say aloud. Saying them aloud is usually where relief begins.
The aim is not to detach from the person you lost but to find a place for them that lets you live forward. That reframe helps many people enormously.
When grief stays acute and disabling well beyond the first year, more structured therapeutic work can help, and your therapist will discuss this openly with you.
