Loss or grief exposes a profound journey of navigating the intricate landscape of human emotions amidst significant ruptures in attachment bonds. Loss sets off a series of emotions that echo the depths of prior wounds and relational dynamics because it is rooted in the fabric of our closest connections. Like a storm on the horizon, grief engulfs individuals in a whirlwind of sadness, anger, and longing, amplifying the ache of unmet emotional needs and the scars of past traumas. Therapy becomes a sanctuary amidst the turbulence, offering a space to honour the complexity of grief, process the echoes of past losses, and cultivate resilience in the face of profound sorrow. By nurturing compassionate connections and fostering self-compassion, individuals can navigate the terrain of grief with greater grace, finding solace in shared humanity and forging a path towards healing and renewal.

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.
