Grief from mild to overwhelming can deeply affect your entire life. Overwhelming grief can paralyze you, driving you into depression and leaving you unable to interact with people you love or enjoy the things that you used to do. Grief can steal your focus from those who are living around you and from all the good things in your life. At work, grief can keep you from paying attention to the tasks that you desperately need to get done causing your productivity to slide. This can lead to you losing your job or losing any promotions that were pending. Within your family, grief can make it seem like there is a large gulf between you and family, as well as your friends which is too difficult to overcome.
Grief Darkens Your Entire World
Grief can crash over you like a tidal wave affecting your entire world and how you interact with it. You can feel as if no one understands you, no one can relate to the overwhelming pain that you are feeling. This leaves you feeling alone and isolated from everyone you know. People may treat you differently because they do not know how to help you through the extensive grief that you are feeling. At work, grief can cause co-workers to avoid you because being near your grief feels uncomfortable for them.
Do You Need Grief Counseling?
If you feel that no one can understand you or relate to your grief and there is no one available to talk to, you might benefit from grief counseling. Additionally, while grief is expressed individually and does not have a timeline, or if you feel that your grief has lasted too long, you might want to seek out a grief therapist like one at Life Changes Therapy. Managing your grief focuses on working through your feelings, accepting your loss and honoring your loss in valuable yet productive ways that do not interfere with living your life.
Grief Therapy
Therapy will help you express your grief in healthy ways instead of allowing it to be a detriment to your life. When you express grief in constructive ways your relationships and interactions with the world at large will improve significantly while you still honor and even celebrate the loss you have been enduring. Like depression counseling, therapy for your grief can help you improve your overall quality of life. If you are feeling overwhelmed by your grief contact a skilled therapist here at Life Changes Therapy to help. Questions? Call: 289-242-1215.

I appreciated it when you shared that going for therapy will help you share your grief in healthy ways without causing it to be a detriment to your life. A friend of mine just lost her wife due to cancer and he is very much in pain since he only has her wife ever since his family died in a fire incident a few years ago. I will suggest to him going for grief counseling in order to share his feelings with a reliable therapist.
