Loss or Grief
LifeCycle Counselling

Grief is the process of reacting to a loss. This loss could be physical (death of a loved one), social (such as a divorce), or occupational (such as work-related). An individual experiencing grief may have conflicted feelings and may experience fluctuations in symptoms throughout their process. Often times, individuals might feel as though they have accepted the loss and have gotten closure. However, later on they may begin to experience grief again and that is okay. Closure is not a one-time thing, it can happen over the course of weeks, months, or even years. Sometimes we are able to gain closure on certain aspects of the loss, and other parts may take a bit longer. Individuals may find that their emotional reaction changes and fluctuates, and can entail different emotions and behaviors. Feelings of sadness can also begin to intensify as the individual begins to yearn to be with the loved one again.
Psychotherapy can be effective in helping an individual overcome grief by allowing the individual to come to terms with the loss, to help work through pain and grief, and help to learn how to move forward and adapt to a life without the loved one. Psychotherapy can also help you to find ways to maintain a connection with the loss. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy approaches have been successful in helping to treat grief and loss. Additionally, Relaxation Techniques and Mindfulness-based interventions, may also be helpful.

Bree Bonanno
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Grief is a profound part of our emotional landscape, intricately woven into the fabric of our lives. It's a testament to our ability to connect with our deepest selves. When we allow ourselves to experience grief, it's an acknowledgment of the importance of what we've lost. It's a reminder of the depth of our love, the value of our connections, and the authenticity of our emotions. In therapy, we can explore this integral part of your journey, using it as a gateway to self-discovery and healing. In our sessions, we'll navigate the stages of grief - denial, anger, bargaining, sadness, and acceptance. I offer a compassionate, judgment-free space for you to process your emotions and find the strength to heal. You're not alone, and I'm here to guide you on your path to understanding and recovery.

As a Registered Psychotherapist and Recreation Therapist, I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing loss, grief, and complicated/complex grief, using a narrative approach that helps with integrating the loss, as well as techniques to assist with associated depression, anxiety, and sense of self.

Kristie Brassard & Associates
Registered Social Worker, RSW
In today's society, we are expected to "suck it up and move on" in situations related to loss. However, grief has a mind of its own. It shows up when we don't expect it. It comes back when we thought we've dealt with it. Trying to avoid it and numb it out only makes it stronger. Therapy can help you heal.
Whether you have lost a loved one through death or a relationship ending, have gone through a difficult life transition or are grieving the loss of something else important to you, we will work together to practice ways to sit with, honour, transform and heal grief in a supportive, non-judgmental and compassionate space.
