Family Counselling Experts
All along the family life cycle, there are fresh challenges such as:
- the arrival of the second child may trigger anxiety and jealousy in the first child;
- children going to school for the first time can be a very anxious transition for parents, the mother in particular may experience significant loss and grief, possibly triggering school phobia in the child;
- the stress and pressures of adolescence impacting on the parents;
- the emptiness and loss of meaning when the last child leaves home and mum and dad for the first time in many years finding themselves having to relate to each other intimately without their children to focus on, can be very threatening.

Losing someone you love
Unfortunately, grief has no set pattern – Everyone experiences it differently. For some people, it may be weeks or months, while others describe their grief as lasting for years. We all find our own ways to grieve, but the most important thing is having the right support, and to be able to talk about the loss when you need to. Many people may not know what to say or do to comfort you. Therefore, it can be helpful to let friends and family know what you are comfortable sharing, and what you are not. Perhaps you just need them to be there, without the need to say anything.
If you’ve given yourself some time to grieve, and find that you are not healing, or that your grief is starting to get in the way of how you live, your work, or your relationships, then it is important to seek help. Call 3067 9129 to make an appointment with one of our psychologists.
Forgiveness
It can be difficult to forgive someone you love after they have truly hurt you. Some people are able to move past it and have a fresh start. For others, the anger, bitterness and resentment remains. To forgive, but not forget is something that you may have said, or have heard others say. But it is this frame of mind which imprisons you both, where neither will ever be free.
