Adults and Grief
Grief Counseling
Grief counseling helps mourners with uncomplicated grief go through the phases of grief. Grief counseling can be provided by professionally trained people, or in self-help groups where bereaved people help other bereaved people. All of these services may be available in individual or group settings.
The goals of grief counseling include:
- helping the bereaved to accept the loss by helping him or her to talk about the loss
- helping the bereaved to identify and express feelings related to the loss (for example, anger, guilt, anxiety, helplessness, and sadness)
- helping the bereaved to live without the person who died and to make decisions alone
- helping the bereaved to separate emotionally from the person who died and to begin new relationships - providing support and time to focus on grieving at important times such as birthdays and anniversaries
- describing normal grieving and the differences in grieving among individuals
- providing continuous support
- helping the bereaved to understand his or her methods of coping
- identifying coping problems the bereaved may have and making recommendations for professional grief therapy
