What Is Grief Therapy?
Grief therapy is counseling provided to people who have experienced grief and loss. While people may think of this form of counseling as being specifically applicable to people who have experienced the death of a love one, grief therapy may also be used to support people going through major life transitions, such as retirement or loss of a job, as grief can accompany these major events. A number of people can provide grief therapy, including clergy, psychologists, counselors, and laypeople.
