"We are all clay and one light"
Guru Gobind Singh Ji
We believe that our society is remarkably impatient with and unkind towards bereaved people.
After the death of a close loved one, it’s as if the bereaved are allowed three or four months of “societal-sanctioned” grief. But, then, they are expected to return to “normal”.
Moreover, well-known grief theorists have convinced us that Grief is a ‘process’ – containing ‘stages’ or ‘phases’ or ‘characteristics’ or ‘tasks’ – and, as a result, society then encourages the bereaved to ‘move on’, ‘let go’ and ‘get over’ the loss.
In the face of such societal pressure, is it any wonder that the bereaved succumb, bottle up their feelings and don masks to satisfy others? It seems as if we have developed an approach to grief and the bereaved that matches the type of society we have now – immediate, short-term, instant, self-oriented, impatient, solution-focused and success-oriented.
Consequently, we believe that:-
Therapy can be short term or longer term to help us heal in this process. your therapist will work with you on managing the way you need them to work with you. You will not be judged in the way that you feel, think or are dealing with your grief.
