Grief and Loss Counseling
Grief and loss
are normal experiences that everyone encounters at various times in their
life. Sometimes the stages of grief can be passed through with a relative
amount of ease. However, at other times one may need guidance to pass from
one stage to the next. Grief and loss counseling allows for a safe
environment to express emotions and work through these stages.
The five Stages of Grief:
Denial
Anger
Bargaining
Depression
Acceptance
Grief and Loss of a Pet
Losing a pet can be one
of the most difficult grief transitions. Animals are an important
connection that keeps us both physically and emotionally healthy. They
provide us with companionship, unconditional love and entertainment. When
adults and children experience the loss of a family pet, it creates a
feeling of emptiness that can lead to depression and anxiety. Michele
Holstad is a Licensed Professional Counselor with fifteen years experience
in the process of grief and loss. Michele utilizes nature therapy
techniques and a holistic approach to healing.
