Family Grief
There’s a lot going on inside a grieving family. When a family member dies, the whole family system is thrown off and the family dynamics shift. Roles change.
Responsibilities change.
Communication between family members may become fragile after the death of a loved one.
Each individual grieves differently and in his or her own way on his or her own timeline. Being in different states and stages of grief at different times can cause misunderstandings.
Family grief counseling can help create a new level of understanding and coping with the grief together as a family unit.
“Honest listening is one of the best medicines we can offer the dying and the bereaved.”
Grief Strategy - Where do you start?
Talking to children and teenagers about death can be very challenging. Is your family experiencing a difficult situation involving the death of a loved one – a family member, a special pet, a teacher, a relative, or a friend?
You might benefit from a grief strategy call, where I can help you navigate how to discuss grief with your children or teenager.
