What can grief counselling do for you?
Grief after the death of a loved one is as much a part of life as the joy of the birth of a new life. Both are often the most impressive moments. Literally, it leaves an “impression” on our soul. But being made redundant or other trauma can have the same effect. As a grief counsellor, I literally help people process these impressions. If such traumas are not properly stored in our system, it can lead to serious problems later on.
From the moment we experience it, it becomes part of us, part of our “being”. Grief processing may be a strange term, because processing implies almost leaving it behind and “getting rid of it”. In my opinion, neither of these is correct; it is about making the event part of your new “self”. The grief is part of it and has no end date; a certain amount of grief or loss will always remain. Yet you can “pick up” your life and, with this experience, enjoy life even more than ever because you know how precious it is.
With whom and how will you engage in conversation?
As a palliative nurse, I was involved in the process of dying and caring for close family and friends on a daily basis. As a grief coach, my job now comes afterwards, when the ceremonies are over and the bereaved fall into a black hole. They can be overwhelmed by grief, hopelessness or even depression. In my coaching, my goal is to give clients back control over their own lives in this new reality. The way I do this is special in several ways.
My starting point is a holistic vision, so I work with both mind and body. So if the grief is stuck in your chest or literally makes you feel like you are “sinking through the ground”, I use quantum touch or other energy/massage techniques to release this grief. You remain fully clothed during this process. In addition, I have a highly developed sixth sense and also work as a psychic and medium. I can connect with the spirit world. It is possible to have direct (or sometimes indirect) contact with the deceased person(s) involved. Many of the how and why questions can then be answered, bringing you, as the next of kin, peace of mind.
How can grief counselling help you or both of you move forward?
We then do what is necessary to shape the perspective of life after and life with the loss. As a grief counsellor, I can do this with you in an individual session, but it is also possible to go through the process together with a group of family members or next of kin. In many cases, sharing with fellow sufferers “under supervision” has a very healing effect.
