Life Cycles Grief & Support Services
“What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined together to strengthen each other in all labour, to minister each other in all sorrow, to share with each other in all gladness, to be at one with each other in silent unspeakable memories?”
Loss is very much a part of life, of being human as we navigate our way through the labyrinth of human experience. At some point we will all experience loss and the inevitable grief associated with loss. Grief is a very human and natural response to loss.
Loss presents itself in so many forms, not only associated with death of a loved one, but also in facing major life changes of which we may not have any control over. These might include relationship breakups, major changes to health that significantly result in lifestyle changes. Loss of employment resulting in financial strain and high levels of uncertainty can cause significant levels of grief. Fertility issues, IVF, miscarriage can have devastating impacts to health and well-being resulting in grief and loss. This is just a brief snapshot of what life can deliver for us to deal with and overcome.
Having had to deal with some of these issues myself and of working so closely with others I realized how important it is to have the right support services in place to support the emotional healing process. When an emotional injury takes place the bodies natural healing begins just as it would with a physical injury.
Elizabeth Kubler-Ross outlined the five stages of grief based on her studies of and work with patients facing terminal illness: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance.
Taking good care of yourself is a vital part of the recovery phase and assists the healing process. Every one deals with grief and loss differently and there is definitely no right or wrong way to grieve. Depending on circumstances surrounding your loss reaching out for help if needed can guide you through each stage of grief as outlined by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross. Lifestyle choices play an important role in self-help strategies. Staying clear mentally allows you time to process emotions as they arise rather than the temptation to avoid the discomfort associated with grief and loss.
How can Hypnosis support you in recovery?
Motivation can be major factor in recovery. Maybe you just don’t have the strength to contemplate getting on with living while your heart feels so heavy. Maybe you are not sleeping well or using alcohol to get you through the day. Maybe you don’t have the energy to get up and go for a walk or do light exercise. Maybe you don’t feel like eating. Maybe you are feeling isolated and withdrawn.
Call me today and we can discuss all the benefits of using both Hypnosis and Neuro-Lingusitic Programming to allow you to gently navigate your way back into life. Growth and acceptance will allow you to be stronger, happier more joyful and independent.
