Welcome to our compassionate and personalized Grief Counselling services in Penticton. Coping with the loss of a loved one is an incredibly challenging journey, and finding the right support is essential. At Take Heart Counselling, we understand the unique and personal nature of grief, offering a safe space to navigate the complex emotions that accompany such profound loss. Our experienced counsellor, Lavene, provides expert guidance tailored to your individual needs, helping you find solace and healing during this difficult time.

Losing a loved one is one of the most challenging times in our lives. Often our personal support system could be dealing with the same loss. Grief will manifest in very different ways from one person to the next. It will come and go and can turn our lives upside down. Without support, it can take over. The first thing to do is to honour your feelings and find support.

Often you will hear of the “Stages of Grief”. The key to this is to understand the stages are not linear, there is no right or wrong way to grieve and “closure” sometimes may or may not exist. The personal way YOU process the sadness and changes in your world due to losing a loved one will be just that, YOURS.

When dealing with death you may question your thoughts about death, life and about life after death. Lavene will help you sort out your thoughts and feelings and work through the large range of emotions you may be experiencing. You will learn to honour your loved one while finding the freedom to live your life. We will carry them in our hearts forever, this is true, but there can be hope and peace in dealing with the end of a life. When you are feeling that you are completely alone, you are not, you do not have to go through it alone.

Also, if you have lost someone that had hurt you in the past, or that you are angry at,  you are not alone. This is a whole other, quite common situation and there are specific ways in which Lavene can help you cope with those feelings. 

You may feel angry, guilty or just not feel anything at all. This is all ok. It does not define you as being a bad person or have any negative stuff that needs to define you. We can look at your unique circumstances and find a place where you can find peace in your heart without that “weight”. “Bless and Release” is a favourite saying of Lavene’s and she can help you adopt that mantra.
