The Degriefing Process
Degriefing is a holistic approach to healing grief-related pain. It combines effective verbal counseling therapies with individualized physical care.
The techniques used in the Degriefing Process are intended to ease a person's emotional distress, mental anguish and physical discomforts. Treatments are tailored for each person's age, condition and cultural background.
What is Grief?
Grief is an involuntary reaction to loss that every person experiences sometime in his or her life. A grieving person undergoes significant and noticeable changes in their mental, emotional, physical and spiritual states.
Though grief reactions vary greatly in intensity, grieving is always associated with suffering. It is universally described as a pain that inhabits the mind and the body. Sometimes the pain is manageable, other times it seems intolerable. Sometimes the pain comes in a wave, other times a person can feel completely immersed in it.
Most cultures have established rituals to help comfort the grieving, and the passage of time is often offered as a dependable and inevitable "cure". However, not everyone completes the mourning process successfully. If professional help is not utilized, lasting mental, emotional and physical disorders may result.
For a variety of reasons, grief-related problems are overlooked, ignored or even misdiagnosed within today's fast-paced health care system. However, a properly educated health care practitioner can provide the personalized care, immediate comfort and continuing support needed to aid the grief stricken individual.
