Sometimes called grief counseling – refers to counseling offered to individuals who have suffered a loss, typically the death of a loved one, to help the bereaved through the process of mourning and recovery.
The process of grieving can involve a host of different emotions including sadness, anger, guilt, and regret, and it can be helpful to have a professional there with you through the stages of this process.
A bereavement therapist can help with things like adapting to life without your loved one, working through guilt about things you wish had gone differently, and sharing feelings that you otherwise might not have anyone with whom to share.
