At Huntingdale Psychology, we understand that grief and loss can manifest in various forms, from the profound sorrow of losing a loved one to the upheaval caused by sudden changes in circumstances. Our psychologist, Colin Longworth, has personal and professional experience in navigating these challenges and provides compassionate support to individuals and families in Perth.

Are You Experiencing Grief, Loss, or Unexpected Changes?

• Grief can be triggered by many different circumstances, such as:

  Death that comes without warning, e.g.

• It could follow on from an ongoing illness;
• Alternatively, death may follow an accident (i.e. is unexpected) or some sudden or unexpected health event, e.g. a Heart attack or Stroke;

It is not always a death that can “knock the wind out of your sails”, so to speak.

Other unexpected changes can be:

• The loss of your job (e.g. in recent times as a result, directly or indirectly of COVID-19);
• Without any (obvious to you) warning, your spouse leaves you;
• Some sort of natural disaster, e.g. a fire or flood;
• There are other significant or unexpected changes in your circumstances.

These experiences can leave you feeling adrift, withdrawn, or overwhelmed. While the initial support of family and friends can be comforting, there comes a point when speaking with a professional psychologist can provide valuable perspective and support.
