Grief\/loss is personal, everybody mourns differently. Usually there is nobody to tell you what to expect and how to cope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nobody can replace what you have lost but it can be a benefit to talk to a counsellor to explore your feelings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therapist Conal Healy believes we need to be more open about what we have lost. This is especially so because of the Covid-19 Pandemic. People have lost family, friends, and jobs. They have also lost hopes and expectations. As well as security about their future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The recent flood events have had an impact on people&#8217;s mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grief\/Loss can come in may shapes. Families will inevitably change and grow along with each individual family member. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Natural change such as the birth of a new child, the illness or death of a family member and even something such as the \u2018empty nest syndrome\u2019 will affect the dynamic of the family group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Separation and divorce both have an impact on the dynamics of a family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Counselling can be helpful in understanding how events that affect one can affect all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:64px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-499968f5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"mailto:wisdomwithwhiskers@gmail.com\">Email: wisdomwithwhiskers@gmail.com<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:64px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nobody can replace what you have lost but it can be a benefit to talk to a counsellor to explore your feelings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[8,11,19,9],"class_list":{"0":"post-321","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-wisdom-with-whiskers","7":"tag-counselling","8":"tag-grief","9":"tag-listen","10":"tag-mental-health"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wisdomwithwhiskers.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/321","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wisdomwithwhiskers.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wisdomwithwhiskers.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wisdomwithwhiskers.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wisdomwithwhiskers.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=321"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/www.wisdomwithwhiskers.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/321\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1037,"href":"https:\/\/www.wisdomwithwhiskers.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/321\/revisions\/1037"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wisdomwithwhiskers.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=321"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wisdomwithwhiskers.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=321"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wisdomwithwhiskers.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=321"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
