Grief Therapy/It’s Time to Say Goodbye. Grief and loss are very emotional experiences. At some point in our lives we will all experience these feelings. There are many ways to resolve our feelings of grief. When we are unable to handle grief to the point that we become dysfunctional it is necessary to seek professional help in the form of grief therapy. The following scenarios represent the services provided by BSI.

Why Did Our Child Have To Die? A Chinese proverb identifies the death of a child as the worst curse one could endure. Be that as it may, we who are left to mourn the death of a child must continue our journey on this earth. I am sure many parents would respond “How can I go on?” While it might be impossible to consider dealing with this situation, there is no single answer. This is probably one of the greatest areas of need for counseling and/or therapy. The ability to survive such a loss may require that we partner with a professional, one who is skilled at listening and facilitating in this strategic healing process.

Somebody I Love Has Died. Even when we anticipate the death of a loved one, the event is still traumatic. The survivors of such a loss are often without hope, struggling with guilt, rage, fear, and all kinds of pain. Resolving the loss may require more insight and emotional support than we possess. This is when we need professional help in order for our process of grieving to be effectively managed. The goal of this intervention is that the remaining loved ones eventually learn to celebrate the life of our departed friend or family member, gaining strength from the event.
But I’m Not Ready To Die. While death is a rite of passage awaiting us all, the trauma of knowing that it is about to happen can be overwhelming. Surveys show that most of us would rather not know. What should we do? What shouldn’t we do? Too often loved ones keep us from exploring our emotions, resolving our fears so that we may face the situation with dignity, courage, and celebration. This is when we need a helping hand, someone who can help us through this process.

We’re Not Ready For You To Die. When a loved one’s death is imminent, it often proves most traumatic for the people who love the dying person. Often we want to help, but our emotions get in the way. Try as we might, bravery simply does not prevail in our behavior. We are not ready to loose our loved one, but there is nothing we can do. This is the time when we need a helping hand, a place to share our fears, an outlet for our pain and anger. This is a time when a trained professional can provide a venue that allows us to manage our emotions such that we are supportive as well as, emotionally stable during the final journey of the ones we love so much.
