Grief and Loss Counselling/ Therapy Vancouver, British Columbia

Vancouver Counsellor

Chronic conditions are associated with ambiguous losses, the types that do not have one particular event but instead involve multiple experiences to mourn such as the loss of an expected future, the loss of identity, and the loss of physical ability. Caregiver loss is also a focus involving anticipatory grief as well as mourning the loss of a loved one. I draw on the Dual Process Model of Grief to explore ways to encounter emotion while also looking at restorative activities.
