Complex Grief

Grief can affect your emotions, body, relationships, sleep, parenting, work and sense of identity. It may feel heavy, numb, confusing, lonely or unpredictable.

 

At Discovery Family Therapy, grief counselling offers a calm space to speak about what has happened, what has changed, and what you are carrying now.

You do not need to move on. You do not need to be coping better. You do not need to explain your grief perfectly before reaching out.

Grief does not always look like sadness

Grief can look different for each person. Some people cry often. Some feel numb. Some stay busy. Some feel angry, guilty, disconnected or exhausted. Others feel pressure to be strong for everyone else.

Counselling can help you make sense of what grief is changing, without rushing your process or telling you how you should feel.

Grief counselling may help if you are experiencing:

  • Feeling overwhelmed by loss

  • Feeling numb or disconnected

  • Crying often or not being able to cry

  • Guilt, anger, regret or unfinished conversations

  • Difficulty sleeping or concentrating

  • Changes in parenting, work or relationships

  • Feeling isolated from people who do not understand

  • Grief connected to illness, ageing, dementia or decline

  • Loss of identity, role, routine or future plans

  • A family member who is grieving differently from you
