OTHER LOSSES

 
 

There are over 40 forms of loss that can create the feelings of grief.

As defined by The Grief Recovery Institute, grief is the conflicting feelings caused by the end or change in a familiar pattern of behaviour. With that definition in mind, we have the potential to grieve any major change, transition, or loss in our lives.

You may have been affected by one or more of the following losses, either recently or long ago

  • Death

  • Divorce

  • Financial Loss or Change

  • Getting Married

  • Graduation

  • Having a Baby

  • Infertility

  • Job Loss or Change

  • Loss of Trust, Safety, or Control

  • Loss of Hopes, Dreams, or Expectations

  • Loss of Pregnancy (ie. Miscarriage; Termination)

  • Loss of Faith

  • Loss of Meaning or Purpose

  • Loss of Freedom

  • Loss of Childhood

  • Romantic Break-up

  • Moving

  • Pet Loss

  • Pregnancy

  • Psychological Diagnosis (ie. Depression; Anxiety; PTSD)

  • Retirement
