The grief process is about trying to find a sense of strength in the face of loss
Our society lacks the necessary skillset when it comes to grieving. It imposes unrealistic expectations on individuals to swiftly recover, show bravery and carry on as if nothing has occurred. However, mourning and loss can never be resolved completely, and it is not appropriate to forget loved ones. The process of healing entails recognizing and integrating emotions, acknowledging the impact of the loss and adapting to life with it. We do not demand you to overcome anything, instead, our compassionate and qualified counsellor will provide a supportive environment where you can explore the scope of your grief and the depth of your loss. Acceptance and self-love will be fostered with gentle encouragement throughout this journey.
There are many other events that can trigger feelings of grief including divorce, separation, loss of a role, injury, retirement, pregnancy, miscarriage, a child leaving home, changing residences, and so many others.

loss that occurs without a significant likelihood of reaching emotional closure or a clear understanding. Eg. a loved one with mental illness, the person is alive but changed.
Ambiguous loss differs from ordinary loss in that there is no verification of death or no certainty that the person will come back or return to the way they used to be.
Loss experiences that are enduring in nature, usually precipitated by a negative life event or episode that retains a physical and/or psychological presence in an ongoing manner. Eg. the feeling of loss of someone who is alive but unavailable mentally or emotionally.
This occurs when an individual, experiences multiple losses either all at once or before processing an earlier loss.
