How long does grief last?
There is no fixed timetable. Grief changes over time, and the goal is not to force it to end quickly but to create a way of living with it that feels more bearable.
FAQs
Questions people often ask first.
These answers are a practical starting point. If you need something more specific, you can always get in touch.
When should I seek grief counselling?
If grief is affecting sleep, concentration, relationships, work, or day-to-day life, or if you simply feel stuck and want support, counselling can help.
What does a grief counsellor do?
A grief counsellor offers a confidential space to talk, reflect, and make sense of what has changed. The work is paced around what feels manageable for you.
Is bereavement counselling worth it?
If you want a steady, non-judgmental place to process loss and feel less alone, it can be very worthwhile. The value is often in having someone alongside you while you work through the grief.
How do I cope with losing someone suddenly?
Start small. Focus on the next manageable step, keep practical demands simple where possible, and get support early if the shock feels overwhelming. Sudden loss often needs time and repetition rather than quick fixes.
