Photographs and Memory Objects as Aids in Grief & Loss
Photographs and objects of personal importance can play an important role in helping us to process grief and move through bereavement experiences. I often ask clients who have lost a significant person in their lives to bring an image or item they associate with that person to session(s) early in the therapy process to facilitate discussion of their relationship to the deceased person, elicit memories, and to work through the grief they are experiencing.
Grief and Loss
Loss and grief are experiences that all of us will confront at some point in our lives. Grief experiences can feel like waves of emotion — sadness, fear, despair, yearning, confusion — that may be intense in some moments and less potent at other times, changing and perceived differently over time.
