Some of the people I serve have received bereavement counseling through hospice or have worked with other providers. One of the themes I hear is that folks feel confined to talking only about their grief. I believe if something is happening in your life, whether it seems directly related to your loss or not, it belongs. Examples include: difficult interactions with family, earlier experiences that may be resurfacing, how to talk with others about your loss, current relationships, other life stressors (work, family, friends). If you have questions about your own circumstances, feel free to ask during the consultation! We will talk about what you want to talk about. Sometimes I may make suggestions, offer observations, or ask questions, however, you always have a choice about what you want to share. If there’s something that arises that feels outside of my training or scope of practice, I will do my best to connect you with resources and/or other providers.
