Illness & Grief

“Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging.”
– Joseph Campbell

 

Illness & GriefIllness, death, loss: facts of life for which many of us are ill-prepared. Whether a chronic illness, a sudden injury, or a difficult diagnosis, whether your own health that of a loved one, it can be hard to cope and the right support can make all the difference. Counseling can help with the practicalities of living with an illness and its medical treatment. Counseling can provide a safe place to process the complex feelings that illness, grief and loss entail. Counseling can also point the way to living a fulfilling life with illness and finding a way to come to terms with death. And if you find yourself drifting into depression from complex grief, it’s a good time to reach out for a caring ear.
