"GRIEF COUNSELING
Lacamas Counseling Serves Vancouver, Camas, Washougal Washington and the surrounding areas
Grief is the time following a death or other significant loss (e.g. divorce, disability) that can include varying emotions of sadness, withdrawal, confusion, anger, and acceptance. Grief is a natural response to a loss. Grief is different than Major Depressive Disorder because the person will keep their self-esteem intact and will still be able to remember some positive memories.
Grief becomes clinically significant when it impacts your ability to function at home, school, or work, or in your relationships. In some instances, complicated grief may be a component of a mental health disorder.
