Bereavement
What is mourning?
Mourning is the public expression of bereavement such as funeral services, rituals, special clothing and symbolic gestures. This happens usually at the time of loss and the surrounding following months. Numerous physical and emotional issues may arise at this time. We educate you and help you to accept, adapt, and adjust to your loss with resources and compassion.
What is bereavement?
Bereavement refers to the period of mourning and grief following the death of a beloved person or pet. It can be a complex and multi- dimensional experience.
Bereavement has two dimensions the actual loss (death of a loved one) and those events that would have occurred (birthday, graduation, anniversary). This can trigger grief recall and re trigger your emotions and create setbacks.
The bereavement process is unique to you and what or who you have lost. It cannot be based on a prior loss experienced or the experience of another person. There are many factors involved that will determine the depth and duration of your grief. Only you will know the depth of heartache you are experiencing.
We here at Talk to Connect help you to understand the bereavement process and educate and support you through your transition. It is not easy to accept, adjust, and adapt to loss.
We educate you on the physical, spiritual, social, emotional effects of loss, which will enable you to make less cognitive errors, that will have a negative impact on your life. Provide you with the needed support.
The Grieving process takes time.
