Grief Counseling Atlanta
Through our grief counseling, that is grieving and loss counseling, you will discover how to let go, learn the how to’s in getting over grief and most importantly how to finally and effectively become successful in dealing with grief.
“What could I have done to prevent it?”
“When he was alive, what could I have done better?”
“While she was still here, what should I have done to make her happier?
“Why can’t I get over it?”
Questions, questions, questions, constant thoughts and questions. It seems like there is no end to a constant barrage of questions or thoughts. You keep grieving and reliving the incident over and over. You keep blaming yourself for it. You can only shake free for a little while, but you only have seconds before the same old feelings come rushing back. Sometimes it leaves you almost unable to function. You ask yourself, “Will I ever forget? Is there no end to this?”
We know one of the main reasons for grief is over bereavement or the death of a loved one. When someone you love dies, it hurts and naturally so. When your heart is interlocked with someone else, a husband or a wife, a child or a parent, a family member or a close friend, for them to be snatched away suddenly without you having any hope of contacting them again is extremely painful, isn’t it. Extra hours on your hand – time you used to spend with someone you enjoyed, loneliness – being unable to talk to somebody that understands you, and grief triggers – reminders of what you lost can all come together to make the experience even more hurtful.
But having to leave behind someone you cherish is not the only form of grief. Though the most recognized and most thought-of kind, it is not the only reason people experience feelings of loss, depression or sorrow. Being moved from a hospital to a hospice or even being diagnosed with a serious disease such as cancer brings the thought of death, or other terrifying thought. One can even begin to receive wrong ideas and have thoughts of suicide such as, “Why don’t I just end it sooner?”
Disability from a severe accident or invalidity because of an illness can also cause feelings of sadness and grief. Disenfranchised grief, an experience felt at the death of a family pet – a cat or a dog - can sometimes feel as bad as the death of a loved one. And then there’s divorce. According to the American Institute of Stress, divorce causes more stress than almost any other event in a person’s life. But that’s only looking at it from the point of ‘during the process’. After the process, divorce leaves remorse. Again, the nagging thoughts or questions come. “What could I have done better?”
“Wasn’t there some other way to solve this besides this?”
An abortion, a miscarriage, stillbirth, or the birth of a child with a defect can even cause grief to any mother, father, or family. Even after birth, SID’S can be a devastating striker. Sometimes it is not the coming of a child that causes a household to grieve, it is the lack of inability to have one.
Or still in the area of children, teenage use of drugs, youth behavior problems or school failure may cause tearful regret to a parent. Older adults may have difficulty moving to a new home, while job loss, economic conditions, and the inability to find work may affect a person in the middle years of life.
As you’ve probably guessed, grief problems have no boundaries. It assaults all ages, all ranges, and on all fronts. Grief strikes hard and in order to win against it, you have to strike back even harder. Then the worst part comes. Sometimes with all the stress you have, you don’t feel like you even have the strength to do that - that is fight back. So now, that’s where we step in.
We take it from here. We help you break out of the mind set of grief – that dangerous mind set where you feel trampled, powerless and have become its captive victim and where you can’t seem to break free - stop grieving over whatsoever.... Aren’t you tired of feeling down and depressed, tired of being down in the mouth mentally and emotionally, bowed down, tired of feeling like a victim? If you are, then that’s why we’re here to help release you and free you to become a victor.
If you want to be liberated from grief, then stopping it as soon as possible is essential. Grief is continual. It never ends. If you don’t stop it, it never will. And if left unstopped, years of life can go by without you ever having been able to fulfil your goals or live your life to its fullest.
Life wasn’t meant to be lived out feeling sad, miserable and unhappy. Life was meant to be fun. But you can’t take hold of life until you get clear of grief. And because grief is so deeply rooted, dealing with it’s going to require our very effective help. But that’s OK – the most important thing is to stop the torment caused by grief, the main thing is to stop living in its bondage.
