Because we love and have all sorts of people touch our lives, we experience grief, mourning and bereavement. Loss is experienced throughout life through significant changes over time. It seems that you may be able to adjust and accept change in some situations. Then, there are other situations that you find you may have difficulty sharing with people, have a hard time concentrating or getting motivated, or have feelings at an intensity you never have experienced before. You are learning how to live without your Loved One, you may feel like a stranger to yourself and you are forever changed because of this loss.
"What is the fastest way to get through this grief?" is one of the most common questions from those newly grieving. Each of us will grieve in our own way for each relationship. With that said, there are wonderful tools that Chartreuse clients are taught, apply to their lives, and evolve within their understanding of their grief. This information and tools build insight and coping strategies that are as unique to you as your grief. Yes, that's right - these tools are designed to educate, provide example, and encourage your own application to offer the roadmap, blue print or even lesson plan for key aspects of life that are touched by grief.
It may seem like you may never feel better. I can tell you that you that the grief with morph and change over time. A goal of grief is never to forget. A goal of grief is to find ways to understand your grief experience. A goal of grief is to know when to sit in the pain and how to soothe when you seek comfort. A goal of grief is to remember your Loved One beyond the death and honor the entire life shared. Chartreuse Center's mission is to offer any where, any time online programs to offer flexibility, remove barriers and improve accessibility to quality grief information and tools to guide you through.
