Since you are searching for help, it most likely means that you or someone you know is dealing with the loss of a loved one, loss of a job, relationship, health or even the loss of a dream you once had. It is difficult to process a loss, especially when it’s someone you love. We would like to offer condolences for your loss. Grief is one of the most painful and strong emotions, always difficult to process, especially doing it alone.
Grief counseling, also known as bereavement counseling, helps a person or family deal with loss. Whether the loss is a spouse, child, sibling, grandmother or family pet, Colorado Springs Thriveworks counselors are experienced and willing to process the loss with you. Sometimes, a loss may not be a death. It could be the loss of health or physical function, loss of a dream or a loss of a home. Whatever the loss, the professional counselors at Thriveworks will help you to understand your emotions and make you way through the stages of grief in a healthy and positive way. Moving through these stages is a unique process for everyone; moving at different speeds and intensities. Each stage in grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance, will be discovered at each person’s own pace.
Being Stuck
People working through grief will sometimes get stuck in a stage, before acceptance. For example, if a person is stuck in the denial stage, they may not accept that the person or loss is really gone. Avoiding the reality of a loss is one way to become stuck, unable to move toward acceptance. A person that is stuck in the stage of anger, may drive others they love away, creating more loss.
