Understanding Grief And Loss
Grief and sadness from loss is something many experience.

It is common to feel sadness, depression, and even some anger following a serious perception of loss. As time passes, these feelings may and emotions normally diminish on their own. If the feelings remain strong, my counsel can help.

On the other side of where you currently are, I can assure you there is a place better than where you are now. The answers live in perspectives and learned lessons that will take you to that new place. Avoid the lessons and adaptation into the new perspectives and risk staying where you are forever.

Each day of your life is a new opportunity to get things right in your own head. The brain is the most powerful computer ever created. Unfortunately it is of little use with the faulty programming many people have therein. The brain's software is free and limitlessly adaptive. It comes from a better place than the best computer store you can visualize but it can be difficult to find. That is where my counsel can aid you. It is all about finding untapped abilities to see things in new ways. If you are not clearly focused and seeing things with a strong healthy point of view that comes from a highly developed conscious through proper perspective and heightened intellect then you may be ineffectual at perceiving and thus changing the real things around you and fashioning them into a way that will make you happy and lead to productivity and a full rich meaning of life for yourself beyond what you previously knew.

If you feel trapped in one spot, my counsel can help you to get moving in a way you never have before. You can do even better than getting back to where you were you can get to a better place. Use this as an opportunity to afford yourself that option.

My counsel can help you to know what causes the emotions you are experiencing and why it affects you as it does but more than that, it will offer you tools that you can use to work past this time in your life and prepare yourself for even bigger challenges and opportunities for growth in your future.

In dealing with a serious loss or setback there are more things you can do than just getting along day by day.

You can recover fully to live again. You can do even more than recover fully. You can use this opportunity and gain from what you learn to teach you to help yourself from this point in your life on.

When grief and sadness don't go away you may need a paradigm perspective shift. My counseling will explain what this is and how it helps with everything, not only the current problems you think you have now.

What causes grief?

Grief is a normal response to losing someone or something that was an important part of your life.

Losses can sometimes bring sorrow and grief to those that only have the developed ability to view things in terms of loss and gains instead of what they really are, tools to build and grow with. No matter what your loss is, you can heal, recover and live better than before.

Specific Losses Causing Grief are numerous and can seem complex and intense:

Death of a loved one
Mourning the loss of a parent, child, spouse, unborn child etc.

End of relationship
Divorce, separation, friendship, death of a pet etc.

Loss of a job and/or financial stability
Recession job loss, foreclosure on a house, bankruptcy etc.

Health problems
Life threatening illnesses, handicap conditions, birth defects etc.

Other life challenges
Death of long held dreams, giving up an addiction or an affair etc.

Coping with the loss is what most attempt to do but it is just simply not enough.

Everyone grieves and copes differently and on many different levels of effectiveness. I can help you realize quickly that you will get through it.

Grief may be expressed in many ways: anger, depression, changes in behavior, such as over/under eating, over/under sleeping, restlessness, withdrawing, irritability, brooding, as well as crying and pain. These are normal feelings and not necessarily signs of mental illness.

Grieving periods may last while you are getting through a loss. It can take some time but ultimately depends on you and your personal chosen paths. That is why it is important to start off right with the best help and resources that are available. My counsel may be just the thing you can most benefit from.

You can be successful in life, and even during this time while grieving an important loss. It is most important to be on the right path and moving forward during the entire period of time.

There are many stages of grief. While each person is different, some common symptoms from a normal grieving process are periods of shock, numbness, denial, anger, depression, loneliness. Eventually you will find acceptance but will that acceptance help to cure or only perpetuate your grief or cause a continued lack of positive momentum in life? That is up to you.

There are many things you can do. Some are helpful and will promote healing, others are destructive and may cause more serious and prolonged difficulties. Sometimes you might get stuck in the grieving process and not be able to move into a healthy acceptance of the loss.

I am here to guide you through it. You don't have to go through it alone. You can recover to live again in a better way than before. If your sadness and anger don't go away with time, you will need help processing the loss.

My counseling, can help you start your healing process and much more than that. This one significant thing for you that brought you to my door can aid you in developing the tools that will aid you with not only getting past where you currently are and moving toward a far better place but also to forge whole new paths that can lead you to living a full enhanced life that you never knew you could. To say the least my counsel can help prevent long term emotional, physical, and relational problems in your future but I am talking about so much more than avoiding and overcoming problems. I am talking about finding answers and elevating your conscious to higher levels than you ever thought possible. The sooner you seek help, the sooner you will have the chance to feel better by learning and implementing the tools you will discover.

For some that never make it to counseling the most important thing you can do is just hold your life together and stay alive in the mean time. Another day may bring another opportunity to discover what life can truly offer that it is not offering now.
