Grief and Loss Take Many Forms
Whether it’s the death of a loved one, the loss of a marriage, a pet, your health, or a future you imagined...
I help people navigate the emotional pain of grief.
Grief Doesn’t Only Follow Death
It can come when:
-A relationship ends
-Your health changes
-You lose a job or retire
-A pet dies
-A sibling is gone
-A parent cuts you off
-Life doesn’t go the way you imagined
These experiences can leave you feeling sad, angry, anxious, numb, or like you’ve lost your sense of self.
This is grief.
Hi,
I’m Carol Banens — a Grief and Loss Counsellor.
I am a certified Grief Educator, Grief To Gratitude Coach & published author.
I help people who’ve lost their partners and those facing many kinds of grief navigate the emotional pain of loss with compassion, clarity, and support.
Grief doesn’t just take time. It takes work. And that work is hard.
From experience, I know it’s easier to face the ups and downs of grief when someone is beside you.
And remember, your Grief Journey is unique
"Grief never ends… but it changes.
It's a passage, not a place to stay.
Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith… It is the price of love."
- Anonymous
"How lucky I am to have had something that makes saying Goodbye so hard."
- Winnie the Pooh
Loss changes everything.It can leave you feeling numb, anxious, exhausted, or like you're no longer yourself.
I understand those feelings because I’ve lived them too.
You might feel lost or unsure how to keep going.That’s normal. You’re grieving.
I offer a space where your experience is seen and respected.Where we gently explore what’s happening and work together toward what might help.
Counselling can support you through this.
Are you ready to move through your grief and to choose life,
to get to know the new you and create your next stage?
"Grief is the price we pay for love."
