Getting Help

The National Association for Loss & Grief (NSW) Inc. provides loss, grief and bereavement support and education in areas throughout New South Wales, Australia.

What is Loss and Grief?

Someone who has experienced a loss can feel like being lost in a maze of conflicting emotions.

This is normal following significant loss.  Knowing the experience is normal may not take away the pain, but will increase understanding of what is happening.   It is important to know you will recover, that it will get better.

Some examples of Significant Losses:

• death of a significant person

• divorce /separation

• relationship breakdown

• retrenchment/unemployment/retirement

• loss of health/amputation/organ loss

• loss of homeland/culture/language

• loss of a pet

• loss of possession/burglary/car theft

• disability/loss of independence

• infertility

• miscarriage/pregnancy termination/stillbirth

• adoption

• stolen generation/loss of identity

• losses associated with caring for someone with a chronic or life threatening illness

• loss of dreams/expectations/hopes
