Loss or Grief

Mind By Design®

Registered Psychotherapist, Psychology and Coaching Clinics
Although grief is a necessary reaction to losses of every sort, complicated grief occurs when one cannot adapt to their losses. The same is true for bereavement, which is the period of grief and mourning after experiencing a loss. Symptoms of complicated grief or bereavement can include extended periods of acute grief, extensive preoccupation with the loss, feelings of worthlessness, extended feeling or numbness or denial, changes in personal relationships, and engaging in self-destructive activities.

Airdrie, Alberta therapist: Claire Benade, registered social worker
Loss or Grief

Claire Benade

Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Grief affects each individual differently and while there are stages of grief they can come and go and often surprise us when the feelings show up. We often do not realize the life events that can lead to feelings of grief and loss which can include the loss of a pet, divorce, or even life changes where we grieve the loss of our old career or routine. I will work with you on strategies for coping as well as looking at the larger family dynamics (if relevant) to ensure the best support for you during these difficult times. I will help support you as we work through the thoughts and feelings you are having. Focusing on therapeutic relationship and building trust allows me to help support you while using a solution-focused lens.

Loss or Grief

Grief is a natural response to a loss. Losses often involve a death of a partner, family member, friend, or pet. Feelings associated with grief vary but can include sadness, anger, guilt, regret, and helplessness. The way in which individuals adapt to a loss depends on a variety of factors such as coping style, age, beliefs, and personality variables. In order to assist clients with working through their grief issues I largely work from the task theory perspective developed by psychologist J.W. Worden. His model is referred to as the Four Tasks of Mourning. The Tasks of Mourning are as follows: Task 1: To accept the reality of the loss. Task 2: To process the pain of grief. Task 3: To adjust to a life without the deceased. Adjusting adaptively often includes making external, internal, and spiritual adjustments. Task 4: To maintain a continuing bond with the deceased while embarking on a new life. Individuals experiencing grief may be struggling with at least one of the four tasks of mourning. A major reason for the model’s effectiveness is that the tasks imply that clients can actively do something to manage their grief symptoms. As we collaboratively explore the tasks of mourning and identify the areas that are challenging to work through, clients gain an understanding of how their thoughts, emotions, or behaviours have prevented them from adaptively moving through the grief process. Clients may also notice how their coping styles have prevented them from grieving effectively with past losses. As they move through the tasks of mourning they often develop a sense of control over their lives, which is a crucial step in alleviating feelings of helplessness. Additionally, clients give themselves the permission to embark on a new life while finding meaningful ways of staying connected to what was lost.

Experiencing the loss of a loved one, a significant life change, or any form of grief can shake us to our core. It's a deeply personal and transformative process that affects us emotionally, mentally, and even physically. During these times, having a safe and supportive space to process your emotions and navigate the complexities of grief is crucial. In my practice, I offer a compassionate and non-judgmental environment where you can openly express your feelings of sadness, anger, confusion, and pain. Together, we will explore your unique experience of loss and work towards finding meaning, acceptance, and healing. Drawing from various therapeutic approaches, such as grief counseling, narrative therapy, and mindfulness techniques, I tailor our sessions to meet your individual needs. We will honor your grief journey, helping you navigate the stages of grief, develop coping strategies, and foster resilience as you move forward in life. Grief is a natural and necessary response to loss, and it's important to acknowledge and honor the emotions that accompany it. Through our therapeutic work together, we will create a space where you can remember, honor, and find new ways to carry the memories of your loved one. If you seek support during this challenging time of loss and grief, I am here to guide you. Reach out to schedule a consultation, and together, we will navigate the path to healing, finding renewed hope, and rebuilding a life that embraces both your past and your future. You don't have to face this journey alone.
