Report on Counselling for Grief and Loss_1
1COUNSELLINGWeek 2My mom had one brother, with whom my grandmother who was 68 years old was staying. A fewmonths ago my uncle died due to a car accident and we bring my grandmother to our home.From then my grandmother went into depression and later she is suffering from dementia. As theprimary treatment of the dementia patient begins at home. My mom had become her foremostcarer who looks after her all the time. My mom had left her job too for taking grandmother’scare. She had completely devoted her life for caring of grandmother. She passed away last monthat the age of 79.There are some questions which I want to ask my mother by being a counsellor would be, “whatdo you feel this time?” As grandmother was so close to you and spend most of the time with her,what will you do now to fulfill the time? Do you need any help from other family members?What will you do to stay away from the grief of loss? (Aoun et al. 2017)Week 3I personally think that the patient must be provided with mental support. She must beacknowledged with warmth, empathy and love. She must be provided with some personal spaceso that she can remember all the love they had shared. She must be allowed to do all the ritualsfor her beloved and to provide chance for her grief. As there were no such funeral was done she does not get time to grief for her loved one. Whensomeone talks about grief there are no rules or regulation being applied. It is important to do theessential things for Mary to do the necessary things she needs in mourning and grief.

Long Term Outcomes of Losing a Child throughAdoption: The Impact of Disenfranchised Grief. Grief Matters: The Australian Journal of Griefand Bereavement, Vol. 10, No. 1, Autumn 2007: 8-11.Week 4As we people are different, the grieving for everyone is also different. Some of the peoplecan grief in less time but some of them need year after year for grieving. It mainly depends uponthe circumstances of deaths causes the impact of grieving. The grieving of a person is dependedon the functions of a person’s life. It mainly depends upon the eating habits, the daily activitiesand the sleeping habits. They need to know that there is a wide range of emotions and behaviourthat is associated with grief. Hence the thoughts of the grief continues to extend which leads tothe struggle of an individual in their daily life activities; had problem in sleeping, unable toconcentrate on the work. So in order to work with this type client I would like to found out whatthey are wanting and also for assisting towards their work (Machin, Bartlam and Bartlam, 2015). The counsellor must not make the assessment under DSM; it is a task of the doctor and apsychiatrist or a psychologist. Hence from the point of view of counsellor I generally think thatwhich treatment is important for the client. Thus the patient who is grieving the loss of the lovedone cannot be diagnosed under DSM IV.This type of counselling includes finding of the techniques which can assist them indoing their daily activities efficiently; concentrate on their work; able to sleep well and can
