While we understand that death is a part of life, losing someone we love, especially a family member can be devastating and heartbreaking. Grief can become overwhelming and consume our lives. If we were especially attached to the family member, the grief will be worse. The loss of a spouse or child can be isolating; finding a friend who understands and is not afraid to listen can be difficult.
Loss of Family Member Therapy
When a loss of a loved one is so devastating that the grief interferes with your daily life, grief therapy can be a positive option to help heal. Grief is a natural process of healing from the death of a loved one and can help you come to terms with that loss. Sometimes though, the loss is so devastating that grief spirals out of control preventing the bereaved person from enjoying life. Or worse, out of control grief can cause someone to engage in self-destructive behaviors, drive close friends and family away and the person sinks into depression. Loss therapy can help you process your feelings of grief.
Fond Memories
Managing your grief does not mean that you will not miss your loved one anymore. While nothing can ever take their place in your life, fond memories of them can fill in for the agony of your loss. While it seems impossible when you are lost in a sea of grief, a skilled therapist can help you find your way to a place of peace and love with the memory of your loved one.
