Grief & loss

This page is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If you'd like to speak to someone, Ventcare's verified therapists and counselling centres are ready to help.

What this can mean

Grief follows loss — of a person, relationship, health, or way of life — and can bring sadness, anger, numbness or relief, often in waves.

When it may help to seek support

There's no fixed timeline for grief, but support can help if it feels overwhelming, prolonged, or you have no one to talk to about it.

What a first session looks like

Grief counselling usually starts with space to talk about who or what you've lost, at whatever pace feels right for you.
