Grief
Lincoln Stoller
Counsellor/Therapist, PhD, CHt, CCPCP
I have a warrior's approach to loss: if a risk was taken for a righteous purpose, then the loss is righteous too. And "righteous" doesn't mean profitable or beneficial, it means virtuous and formative. We should all be willing to risk our lives to make our lives better. The only alternative is to live unfulfilled lives, and fail to act in ways that help others live. A loss of opportunity is worth grieving over, especially if the opportunity was not taken. But another person's decision to embrace or forfeit opportunity is something only they can be responsible for. Much like love, the most you can do is offer. You can do no more, but you must do that.
The way you deal with grief is to recognize what other things you should be grieving about now; what opportunities you're missing and the failures of those you love to recognize their opportunities. There are things everyone should do while we have the chance. If you failed to do before what you now regret, then your grief is telling you what to change. Look at those around you and ask yourself if they are living lives free of regret. Become both an advocate for and actor in what you think is missing. If others disagree or don't want to hear you, don't let that stop you.
Grief tells you to become an evangelist for what is most important; values as deep as your feelings of grief. When you act on those feelings, there is nothing for you to regret when loss occurs, and loss always occurs.
Look at past losses as messages that have finally gotten through. Become a valuable actor in the lives of those you care about. Teach others that grief is regret over opportunities lost. Your future grief will be much less if you do the most in the present.
I am a counselor with the American Alpine Club's Climbers Grief Fund. The fund offers US$600 grants to those suffering as the result of wilderness related trauma. You do not need to be a member of the American Alpine Club, and there is no cost in applying for the grant.

Rainforest Reiki and Meditation
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor
Any type of change can become completely disorienting. Loss may amplify the stress, sadness and other strong emotions that appear during times of grief. I support clients by providing a space for them to talk openly about how they are managing their specific loss and collaboratively work towards their goals, at their pace.

Grief
Candice Seligman
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, DVATI, CCC
I work with individuals navigating grief and loss in its many forms, whether after the death of a loved one or pet, the end of a relationship, a major life transition, or another meaningful loss. Grief can feel overwhelming, confusing, or difficult to move through, especially when the world expects you to simply “move on.” Using a trauma-informed, compassionate, and somatic approach - we make space for your grief while tending to the emotional and nervous system impacts of loss. The goal is not to rush the grieving process, but to help you move through it with compassion, support, and a deeper sense of stability, self-trust, understanding, and meaning.

Linda Szeto
Therapist, RCC, CCC
Grief hurts, and it can bring up all kinds of emotions, sometimes all at once. Whether you're grieving a death, a relationship, a change in health or ability, or something else you've lost, there isn't one right way to experience it. I use Brainspotting and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to support you in exploring your experience of grief, making space for the different feelings and parts of yourself that may come up, and building capacity to be with what you're feeling.
