Welcome to Jackson Grief COUNselling (Including pets)
Every loss is valid and unique
My name is Bronwyn. I am a nurse and counsellor specialising in Grief Counselling. I've learnt over the years that 'Death Makes us all Equals'.
Grief encompasses so many emotions that it feels confusing and isolating to think about, let alone live through. You may feel judged because of your feelings, in despair, or like things don't make sense the way they once did. Every emotion is valid and unique. Your hopes and dreams are now taking a different direction in the absence of your loved one, which means your sense of the world, of what's real to you, is also changing.
Suppressing your emotions only adds to the chaos that you may be feeling.
Your memories and shared experiences don't disappear, and repressing these feelings won't help you build a new reality without your loved one.
My genuine concern for assisting you to process your grief allows me to discover what will work for you in your specific situation.
Don't give up; the future, while challenging, can look different from how you feel now.
I also assist individuals coping with the loss of a pet. Their loss can have a devastating effect on one's life for anyone who has had a pet and experienced their unconditional love. Dealing with this loss can be difficult due to others' expectations towards your grief.
support
Support is vital during grieving.
While experiencing your grief, you may be challenged by some in your support group who are narcissistic or gaslighting you, which can make life even more difficult.
Overcoming this difficulty involves setting boundaries and letting your loved ones know that you know they are 'trying' to help; however, their insistence that you 'get over' your grief or 'move on' isn't helpful.
I will help you navigate this difficult situation so you can discuss how you feel and define boundaries that you can gently encourage them to follow. It doesn't need to be adversarial; gentle reminders can prevent it from happening repeatedly.
