Grief counseling is a form of psychotherapy that helps people cope with loss (Wikipedia). This loss can be the death of a loved one or even a divorce. There’s usually a sense of terrible sadness and yearning, and the process can be very long and very painful. However, if counseling is undertaken, it can help speed up the grieving process. Counseling enables people to understand their feelings, allows them to see beyond their pain and helps them to finally reach their end goal: acceptance.More Articles...
