Hope for Grief and Loss
Grief and the grieving process is a natural response to changes in our lives. Events like death and terminal illness often evoke an experience of grief that can feel overwhelming.
Many people find it helpful to work with counselors to work through grief or the effects of other traumatic events, and are able to regain their balance and recover from their feelings of shock, numbness, distance, and sorrow.
Our Approach to Help and Healing
The way out of grief is through it. Though one’s life will not be the same, counseling can provide individuals and families an opportunity to experience the process of coming through grief and back towards life. As each experience of grief is unique, Covenant Counseling provides clients with skilled counselors prepared to work with the issues surrounding these unique experiences of grief and loss.
