Women and Family Supportive Counselling

Motherhood.

The adventure of motherhood, is one of the most unique, precious and most hair-raising experiences two people could ever share. “Chief cook and bottle washer” will never come close, you still have to add; nurse, teacher, counsellor, hair dresser, chief designer, tear wiper, stubbed toe healer and driving instructor, while still meeting work deadlines and life’s pressures.
Don’t forget that exhausted zombie state from that recurring “am I being a good mom” night terror either.

Motherhood, for some, is a time of pure joy that is naturally glided into, while others find it a difficult and daunting task. Always remember, we all need support, help and a shoulder to lean on and the odd cup of hot coffee.

Community, friends and family should be our first stop for advice, pull from their experiences BUT always remember, no one knows your child better than you, take the advice and mold it around yourself, your child and family.
There is no “one size fits all” to motherhood, we are all just trying to do the best we can.
If the adventure of motherhood has you completely overwhelmed and looking for the emergency breaks, please seek help. You are truly not alone.

This week I would like to touch on GRIEF & LOSS.

Its with a very heavy, sad heart that I write this first post. Our beautiful country has suffered much loss and pain over the last year, last week, it touched our home again. The pain of loosing a loved one, will bring even the strongest person to their knees, there are just no words.

Greif is a road which must be travelled, this journey can often be painful, guilt-ridden, full of anger and very lonely. The Loss, in this moment, sounds impossible but is a journey of re-adjusting your life around the void, finding new hope, new meaning and starting a new phase in life. The loved one, is not forgotten or lost; it’s the amazing sense of gratefulness felt, when you know you shared love, time, experiences and life, that they will live in your day-to-day space as part of you. They will live on.

Grief and Loss are very unique, personal journeys, journeys which should not be travelled alone. Allow others to draw close, to hold you, support and comfort you and please seek help if the pain is too much to bear.

If you or someone you know is battling an unfortunate loss, reach out and contact us on 071 678 2222 to book a counselling session.
The Lord is close to the broken-hearted; He rescues those whose spirits are crushed.
NLT Psalm 34: 18
