One of the most difficult
emotional and psychological events in life is coping with a loss. This may be
the loss of a loved one, loss of a pet, loss of a friendship or relationship,
or even the loss of a dream or a life goal. When these types of issues happen,
grief, bereavement, and mourning are normal effective and appropriate responses
to the event. Sometimes, however, the grief or bereavement becomes overwhelming
and progressively more significant with time, leading to the risk of developing
depression or a condition known as complicated grief disorder or CGD.
Complicated grief disorder
is similar to being stuck in a permanent and endless grieving process. It is as
if the individual is unable to let go of the death but continues to focus on
the loss and the death in a way that is negative, self-destructive and
ultimately emotionally devastating.
The Signs of Grief
Our bereavement counsellors
at the Bermondsey Office in the City are able to assist individuals in working
through their loss and in developing healthy, positive coping mechanisms for
moving forward in their life. This includes holding cherished memories of the
loved one or the cause of the sense of loss in a way that is not destructive or
damaging but rather positive and comforting.
People that come into our
Bermondsey Office to meet with our bereavement counsellors often are
experiencing an extremes sense of loss or grief. These individuals typically
report signs of complicated grief such as:
• Constant thoughts about the loved one that impact the ability
to work, focus, concentrate, and enjoy life
• Intense feelings of loss, depression, sadness, and sorrow
that have lasted for weeks and months, after the loss, and are not decreasing
with time
• Feelings of lack of meaning in life or failing to find a
reason to keep on living, working, and experiencing the world around them
• Overwhelming anger at the individual, the illness, or the
situation that may transfer to other people and situations
• The need to isolate themselves from others
• Denial of the death or feelings that the loved one is
still alive
There may also be other
issues that have developed since the passing or loss. Many of the patients that
come for bereavement counselling in the city at the Bermondsey Office may be
having difficulties with sleeping, dramatic changes in relationships with their
family and friends, increased use of alcohol or drugs, increased physical
illnesses, and body aches and pains.
The Treatment
At the Bermondsey Office in
the city, we don't use a one-size-fits-all approach to our bereavement
counselling. Rather, you will meet with a therapist, and together, you will
work to create a unique and tailored counselling programme that will meet your
unique needs. Bereavement counselling will include a range of different techniques
and methods that are created to match your treatment plan and your comfort
level throughout the therapeutic counselling sessions.
