A bereavement counsellor is specifically trained at helping people through the different stages of grief. First and foremost, they provide a safe and calm environment for the person to share their thoughts free from judgement. They will work with them in a caring manner to help them navigate the road ahead, to make sense of some of the things they may be experiencing. The death of a loved one can cause a tremendous amount of pain for those left behind. Sometimes even the support of friends and family isn’t enough to meet the emotional needs of a person who is grieving. This is where a bereavement counsellor can be extremely beneficial.
