Grief Counselling
Grief is not a disorder, a weakness, or something to "get over."
It is a natural emotional, physical, and spiritual response — the cost of having loved deeply.
The only way to heal from grief… is to allow yourself to grieve.
At JD Counselling, we understand how overwhelming loss can be. Stress, sadness, and anxiety can feel like too much to carry alone. That’s why we’re here — to listen, support, and walk beside you as you navigate this difficult journey..
You don’t have to go through it alone. Let us help you find space to breathe, reflect, and begin to heal.
Grief is not something you can just get over. It's something that will always be with you but you will learn to accept it, embrace it and cope better as time goes by.
Grief isn’t something you can fix — it’s something you will carry.
One of the questions I hear often is, “How long until I feel normal again?” The truth is, life may never go back to how it was — grief becomes part of who you are. But that doesn’t mean it has to define you.
It’s normal to cry. It’s OK to be vulnerable. And it’s common to realise you’ve been hiding your emotions just to get through the day.
Grief shows up in many ways: regret that you couldn’t save them, anger that a diagnosis came too late, guilt around making impossible decisions, and even guilt when moving forward — especially with a new partner.
The reality is, you couldn't be any sadder than the day they left.
We begin by gently acknowledging the pain, breaking it down into manageable pieces. From there, we work together — step by step — to find routine, regain a sense of stability, and shift your mindset from just surviving to moving forward again.
Progress doesn’t mean forgetting, or burying the past. It means celebrating the person you’ve lost, allowing their memory to still be with you, remembering the good times.
Its important to ask, “What would they want for me right now?” That question can help to change the way you're thinking, the person you miss wouldn't want you to be sad.
Grief doesn’t end — but we can help you find a way to control it, rather than allowing it to control you.
