Grief can be debilitating. Wether you have lost a loved one or a pet to death, ended a relationship or are leaving behind a chapter of your life, loss can be a hard thing to navigate. I engage clients who are grieving with care and supportive practises such as self-compassion, ritual and ceremony planning and skills to work through grief effectively.

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.

Victoria is British Columbia's capital city and a major retirement destination, giving it an older demographic profile than most Canadian cities — one that generates consistent demand for therapists working with aging, loss, caregiver stress, and the psychological dimensions of life transitions in later years. The city's government-worker culture, combined with the University of Victoria and Royal Roads University, creates a well-educated population that is generally comfortable seeking therapy and willing to engage in longer-term work. Island Health provides public mental health resources alongside a well-established private therapy community serving Oak Bay, Saanich, and the Inner Harbour area. Victoria's separation from Metro Vancouver by water means specialist therapist access can be limited in some areas, with telehealth filling an important gap for clients seeking a specific type of match.
