Grief & Bereavement Resources

Seeking out professional grief support can be immensely beneficial when dealing with loss. Trained therapists and counsellors provide a safe space to express emotions and work through complex feelings associated with grief.
Professional support can also help prevent feelings of isolation by connecting you with support groups and resources. Ultimately, seeking professional help ensures that grief is addressed in a healthy way, which assists in our overall well-being.

Alternate therapies can also be beneficial while grieving, offering holistic approaches to soothe the nervous system and address trauma. Body and breath work may help in processing emotions stored in the body, aiding in physical and emotional healing. Practices like mindfulness and meditation, grief yoga, gentle massage and breathwork and nature-healing can also support the grieving process by providing a safe space for expressing and releasing grief, fostering a sense of presence and calm, and reducing stress and anxiety.
These therapies can provide comforting and effective ways to navigate the complex emotions associated with loss.
