A very real issue in today's society, is the emotional loss of someone who is still here. Relationship breakdown is creating a growing need for people to learn to mourn the loss of love.
Mourning the loss of a living person is much different than mourning the loss of someone who has passed away. When a person has passed away, you do not see them again, and you are left remembering the good times you had with them, or their contributions to you, your family, and your community. When the person remains, you are left with great pain, as well as the potential triggers of either seeing the person in the community, or having to deal with continued strained communications. These triggers can cause tremendous anxiety, depression, and downright anger!
If this is you, you can greatly benefit from talking with a counsellor. It can be very difficult to navigate this loss, and you need someone to be on your side, validating your emotions, and teaching you new skills to help you process your new realities of life. Counselling is safe and confidential. You will not face judgement or criticism for how you are coping with your challenges. Call today to make your first steps towards rebuilding your life.
