grief

Grief is a natural response to loss, but navigating it can feel anything but natural.
Whether you are mourning the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a dream, a pet or a life chapter, grief is deeply personal and uniquely challenging.
At Marquis Counselling & Consulting, we understand that no two journeys through grief are the same, and we are here to support you every step of the way.

WHAT IS GRIEF?

Grief is an emotional process that arises when we experience loss.
It can encompass a range of feelings, from sadness and anger to confusion and even relief.
While many people associate grief with death, it can stem from any significant loss, such as:

  • The end of a relationship or marriage

  • A change in health or lifestyle

  • Career transitions or retirement

  • The loss of a pet

  • A major life transition or traumatic event

Grief is not linear—it ebbs and flows, often catching us off guard.
It’s important to know that whatever you’re feeling is valid and deserves attention.
