Loss is an inevitable part of life, and grief is a natural part of the healing process. Yet many of us are not prepared to deal with the upheavals that come with the loss of a loved one. In How to Go On Living When Someone You Love Dies, Dr. Therese Rando says that grief can be expressed in three major ways: emotionally, in your relationships and in your health. Grief counseling can help you cope with the profound effects loss may have on your emotional and physical health, as well as the strain it can put on your relationships with others. People have different emotions after losing a loved one. You may have to rebuild your life while acknowledging your loss, and counseling can help ease the healing process.
