Traumatic Grief 

It may follow an accident, suicide, homicide, medical emergency or a death involving frightening or disturbing experiences.

 

Sometimes, the trauma lies not only in how someone died, but also in what we witnessed, experienced or were unable to do.

​

Traumatic grief can involve intense sorrow and longing alongside shock, fear, anger, guilt or intrusive memories of the death.

 

You may find yourself repeatedly revisiting what happened, struggling with unanswered questions or feeling unable to remember the person you love without being overwhelmed by the circumstances of their death.

 

Your sense of safety, trust and connection with the world may also be profoundly affected.

 

How can therapy help?

At The Grief Clinic™, we recognise that traumatic grief requires sensitive, specialist psychological support.

​

Our approach helps you explore both the trauma surrounding the death and the grief associated with losing someone important.

 

We work at your pace, supporting emotional safety, helping you make sense of your experience and creating space to reconnect with memories of the person beyond the circumstances of their death.

 

The trauma of how someone died should not have to overshadow the love and relationship you shared.
