Holistic Approaches to Coping with Loss

Grief is a complex emotion, a natural and instinctive response to loss. Grieving encompasses a wide array of emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations. 

 Bereavement affects everyone in different ways, and it's possible to experience any range of emotions. There is no right or wrong way to feel. Grieving is natural and normal.

Navigating grief requires patience, self-compassion, and a willingness to seek support.

How can holistic therapy help?

Grief is not something we aim to resolve or remove, instead we can help you move through your feelings and emotions gently and at your own pace. Holistic therapy, including hypnotherapy, meditation and creative writing, can offer a calming, nurturing space where you can begin to reconnect with your inner strength, find moments of comfort, and process what you are experiencing in a safe and confidential environment. It is a chance to sit with your emotions without needing to analyse them fully, and to connect with feelings of love, memory, or meaning in a way that can support healing.

 Our holistic therapy can help you reconnect with comforting memories of the person you have lost. This often brings a sense of closeness, appreciation, and peace, rather than focusing on the pain of separation. These approaches can help the subconscious mind access a sense of comfort, strength, or continuity. Rather than revisiting difficult emotions, the focus is on nurturing inner resources and supporting you to carry your grief in a way that feels more manageable.

 The aim is never to move you too quickly or suggest you “let go” but rather help you to explore the possibility of carrying your grief alongside growth, peace, or strength. While each person’s grief journey is unique, there are strategies that can help individuals cope. While there is no universal roadmap to navigate grief, seeking support and exploring various therapeutic avenues, can offer valuable tools for healing and finding solace amidst the pain of loss.
