Loss

Loss can take many forms. It does not always relate only to bereavement. Any significant change or ending in life can create feelings of grief.

Examples of loss include:

• Bereavement and grief following the death of a loved one
• Relationship breakdown or divorce
• Loss of friendships
• Loss of employment or career changes
• Loss of identity or purpose
• Loss of health or physical ability
• Loss of independence
• Moving home or leaving a familiar environment
• Loss of routine or stability
• Pet loss

Counselling can help you process grief, understand the emotions attached to loss, and find a way to adjust to life after change.
