Loss or Grief
Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
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.

Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CT, CCC, RCC
Loss and Grief can be completely debilitating. It takes tremendous energy to cope with loosing someone or something that you were attached to. Did you know that we expect a significant loss to take upwards of 1 year to recover from. If it's been longer than a year it's time to look into what else may be preventing you from moving forward in your life.

Loss and grief, whether it's loss of a loved one, loss of functionallity or other life transitioning phases we go through, can open us deeply into life's deeper meaning if we don't close to the pain, but let it show us into depth in us that we were otherwise perhaps not in touch with -It has the potential of showing us a completely new perspective - and can be full of grace and bring so much newness, if we let let it...
