Grief Counseling

“Grief” is a term used to describe the emotional pain that a person experiences in response to tragedy and/or loss. Most people will experience grief during their lifetime, and it is natural to struggle with it. Grief can be triggered by many events, such as the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, the dissolution of a relationship, or trauma.

Everyone experiences grief differently. The way that each person works through their grief will depend on who they are, their circumstances, and the nature of the loss itself. What many people fail to realize, however, is that our ways of dealing with grief are often learned behaviors, either through watching others or through personal grief experiences.

When you are experiencing grief and are unable to move past the sadness, emptiness, and fear, or seem to be stuck to the point where you cannot go on with your life, Christian counseling for grief in Newbury Park may be the answer.

While talking to family and friends is a necessary part of the healing process, the professional counselors at Newbury Park Christian Counseling will walk alongside you through the grief process as you work through the loss.

If you are experiencing grief, you may feel torn about whether it is better to isolate yourself or to allow yourself to get close to others. After all, grief can strain a relationship. However, letting others whom you trust into your life so that they can support you and grieve with you is crucial as you process grief.

Since people do not automatically know what you need or how best to help you, be as clear about your needs as you can be. Grief support groups can also be a help. You will interact with others who are experiencing the same kinds of emotions as a trained therapist facilitates the meetings and helps you work through your grief.
