What does a grief counselor say to someone who's just lost a loved one? Walk it off. : ) they are there more for to answer questions you may have =they are trained now to be soft and calm in their way to sooth the grieving person It really depends on how close the person was to the loved one. There are many things not to say like Don't worry it will get better that just makes them feel worse the best thing Greif Counselors can do is LISTEN alot. Suck it up. Life sucks. Most likely they will listen and try to have them look at the situation in a way that is healthy and will lead to healing. He or she should say "I am so sorry for your loss",assure you that everyone grieves in different ways, that there is no timetable for grief and hopefully suggest a grief support group where you can openly share your grief who have experienced the same thing. There is support in numbers. Friends and family though well meaning usually say the dumbest things since they don't know what to say. I hate the saying "call me if I can do anything for you" That is such an empty statement. surround yourself with people who are experiencing your kind of grief. I know, I lost my husband one year and four days ago and it is truly the worst pain I have ever experienced in my life. Their biggest message is not to blame yourself. Self-blame for what you didn't do while your loved one was alive is a major cause of depression. I suppose not much, Im pretty sure they mostly listen to what you would have to say to help you get it all of your chest. There isnt much you could say to someone when they suffer a loss like that. There are many stages to grief; shock, denial, anger.... I don't know them all, but it is good to seek help if you need it. I know it felt like the end of the world when we lost multiple family members, my father, grandfather, cousin, uncle and nephew were all lost within 7 months. Everyone's experience with grief is unique to them because no two relationships are alike. A grief counselor is there to listen and respond to the griever's needs often based on commonly accepted stages of grief (Denial, Anger/Guilt, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance), which can happen or reoccur in or out of order. |
