Lifeline Grief & Loss Counselling Service

There is no right or wrong way to grieve and there is no set time limit to grieving. When we lose someone or something important to us, it can significantly impact all parts of life.

We are often faced with having to revise and re-learn our sense of self, identity, and understanding of the world. This process can be challenging and takes time. It can be even harder if the circumstances of the loss were unexpected, or traumatic.
