How Guidance Can Help Through Grief and Loss

 

Grief guidance is the process of working with a trained mentor and guide to adjust to the painful losses and circumstances that are experienced in life and, even more importantly, the process of finding the ability to live with a new sense of fulfillment even after the experience of devastating loss.

Grief guidance is done by mentors and guides, like Linda Darin. She provides a safe, caring place to experience and recognize the loss while also finding a way to continue on after a loss and, once again, discover fulfillment in life. Many grief counselors will spend some time explaining a well-known stage of grief model, pioneered by and named after Elisabeth Kubler-Ross. She identifies the five stages of grief as denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance and emphasizes that grief is a journey that requires time rather than a moment that requires immediate acceptance.

The stages of grief are a complex series of emotions that take time, patience and attentiveness to identify and experience. It’s important to recognize that grief doesn’t follow a neat, predictable pattern but can vary from day-to-day (and sometimes minute-to-minute) in both intensity and type of emotion. A trained grief counselor allows you the space and time you need to fully experience your loss – they assist you in saying a final goodbye that will, ultimately, allow you to say hello to future relationships, opportunities and expectations.

If you have experienced a loss and you need assistance adapting, consider consulting a grief guide. You can also contact Linda Darin, of Darin Transformations, for more helpful tips as you deal with the reality of loss.
