Complicated Bereavement
Complicated bereavement, also called complicated grief, is a nuanced illness that needs care that is expert, specialized, and compassionate. Solara Health provides that care with our calming environment and our experienced, caring staff. Using a personalized combination of individual psychotherapy, group therapy, and holistic therapies, clients explore their grief in a safe, nurturing environment and develop the skills needed to accept their loss and find mental and emotional healing.
Acceptance and Healing
Losing a loved one is a profoundly painful, heartbreaking experience. Although mourning is often a difficult, time-consuming process, complicated bereavement disrupts this process, keeping those struggling with it from overcoming the pain of their loss and functioning normally in everyday life; instead, individuals find themselves stuck in mourning, the pain of their loss ever-present and never fading. These feelings can be extremely isolation and debilitating, inhibiting normal social and occupational functioning.
There is a wide variety of symptoms of complicated bereavement, including the following:
- All-consuming grief
- Inability to accept the loss
- Avoidance of things related to/reminiscent of the loss
- Frequent/constant thoughts about the loved one who has passed, coupled with powerful longing to be with them again
- Feelings of anger, guilt, or bitterness
- Isolation, loneliness, detachment, of numbness
- Inability to trust or connect with others
- Insomnia or other sleep disruption
- Anxiety
- Physical symptoms, such as extreme fatigue, weight changes, nausea, and muscle pain
At Solara, we provide peaceful facilities where clients can learn how to accept and heal from their loss. Working with both clinicians and peers, clients will break free of their isolation, realizing that they are not alone in their struggle and providing both comfort and hope. Our structured Grief & Loss therapy group is especially vital to healing from complicated bereavement; here, in this structured space, clients come together as peers to address their feelings, build a support network, and learn and practice techniques for returning to everyday functioning. Through this program, clients come to accept their loss and cope with the pain it has caused them, finally allowing them to heal and live a full life.
While our clients make considerable and rapid improvements, complicated bereavement is often a long-term condition. Understanding this through years of experience, Solara Health provides the entire spectrum of care from in-residence to outpatient to transitional living to continuing, customized case management of long-term aftercare planning to ensure maximum, long-term success. Solara Health is committed and dedicated to freeing our clients from the clutches of complicated bereavement, and our program is created to ensure this.
