Grief & Loss Counseling

Grief Counseling

Grief is a necessary process that occurs when we experience a loss or hardship. People generally try to ignore their grief and pretend like if nothing has happened but inside themselves they are hurting. If this pain is not acknowledged and recognized it stays with us preventing us from moving on with our lives. Although most people expect grief to be expressed only at the emotional level it can be experienced in all dimensions:

Physically
Spiritually
Emotionally
Socially

Loss and Transformation

Losses are an inevitable part of our life journey and because they affect our deepest levels of existence at times they can be very intense and devastating. We all endure losses but we can also transform these losses into a growing experience. This should be the first stage when facing a loss. Let's not forget that the first principle is to accept the loss in our lives. We need to embrace the pain, release it and continue in our path.

These are some of the many losses we may experience in our life:

Loss of a loved one through death
Loss of health
Loss of partner through divorce or separation
Loss of our job
Loss of our financial security
Loss of a pet
Loss of hope

Ligia created the system "The Eleven Principles of Transformation™" which can be applied to any of these losses, to help you transform your loss and change your life. As she says "...you can transform your loss into personal and spiritual growth." Ligia's principles have been already incorporated in the first support group in Nicaragua for bereaved persons, PUDE.

Testimonials

"Recently, I had the pleasure of working with Mrs. Houben. The Finding Meaning Project was born out of a collaborative effort between staff at Jackson Memorial Perdue Medical Center and Mrs. Houben. The goal was to understand the feelings of loneliness expressed by some nursing home residents. Mrs. Houben was extremely helpful in assessing the needs of our Residents. Her ability to gather information and then present staff with techniques and programs ideas was impressive. Everyone involved appreciated her kind, caring and professional persona. Our experience working with Mrs. Houben was a valuable one."
