Death and Dying
Support for people who are dying, and loved ones who are grieving
Death happens to us all, and grief affects us all. Regardless of the age someone is when they die, how they die, or whether it is expected or not; it is a hard time for everyone involved.
When there is time to prepare for a death, counselling can be a helpful process for the dying person and the people around them. It can help to work through unsaid or undone things, regrets, anticipatory grief and stress. For people who are grieving ahead of a death, accessing counseling can allow you to be more present during the time you have left with your loved one.
After a death, there is no right or wrong time to seek counselling. Someone may have died recently, or many years ago. Either way there can be important work to do. Counselling can help you understand what happened, process the trauma and stress from that time that you’re still carrying, and celebrate the person you have lost.
Death and dying is hard, but it can be supported to be a little less hard, or even peaceful.
