Loss and Grief Essay
Essay Title:
Loss and grief:
Grieving allows us to heal, to remember with love rather than pain.
It is a sorting process.

counsellor can use this model as a guide to help navigate their client through the 'roller coaster of change' and the fluctuating emotional terrain of grief.
J. William Worden sets out the 'four tasks of mourning' (Worden 1991).
The four basic dynamic tasks are: To accept the reality of the loss. To work through the emotions associated with the loss. To learn how to cope with practical tasks of living without the
support of the deceased. To find a new place in one's emotional relationship with the deceased.
These tasks relate to the ideas of denial, anger and grief, learning to cope' and' relocating the deceased in ones mental and emotional life'. Worden refers to the work of Klass 1996, which

Within all these theoretical standpoints, the theme and process of coming to terms with death and relationship could be regarded as the essence of an existential quest; one
