Grief
Marg Totten Counselling Therapy
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MA, MPCC, CPCC, LCT
Times of grief and loss can be incredibly disorienting and painful. We may not only lose a beloved, but also a sense of identity, safety, purpose, and /or connection. As the rug is pulled out from under us, loss often changes our view of the world and even other people's intentions and motives. Along with feeling nothing in our life is safe or predictable anymore, it is common to fear even more loss is coming. Strangely, these times can also be ones when our faith (tested) is made stronger, or our understanding of our resilience becomes apparent. It is a time when expression of emotions through discussion, writing or art can be extremely helpful. It would be my honor to listen and journey with you at this sacred time.

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.

Grief
Roger Thiessen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CCC, MPS, M.Div
Loss and its accompanying grief are universal: no one gets through life unscathed. Grief is a response to any type of loss: death of a beloved person or pet; breakup/divorce; life transitions, such as empty nest or retirement; losing a job; or losing something valuable, like a home or faith. We don't recover from loss so much as experiencing the pain of grief and mourning the loss. My goal in helping people that are grieving is first and foremost to listen, to witness their pain and loss. I will provide a sanctuary: a safe place and empathetic presence in which you can honestly, openly, and fully mourn.

Shauna Switzer, MCP, MA RP
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MCP, Registered Psychotherapist
Grief can arise from the loss of a loved one, relationship, life transition, health change, or other significant experiences. Everyone grieves differently, and the process can bring a wide range of emotions including sadness, anger, confusion, guilt, and loneliness. Therapy provides compassionate support and a safe space to process grief, honour loss, and navigate healing at your own pace.
