EDHA concern guide
Grief & Loss
Grief can follow bereavement, relationship endings, health changes, job loss or other major transitions. There is no single correct way to grieve, but support can help when the experience feels overwhelming or isolating.
How counselling may help
- Create space to process the loss at your own pace
- Work with guilt, unfinished conversations or identity changes
- Support routines and connection during adjustment
- Understand the difference between grief and other difficulties that may need additional care
When other care may also be appropriate
If grief is accompanied by thoughts of self-harm, severe functional decline or other acute symptoms, seek urgent or specialist assessment.
