1.0 1introduction
Bereavement counselling is a specialised type of counselling that involves supporting individuals who have experienced the loss of a loved one. This counselling helps them work through their grief as well as perhaps learn coping mechanisms to help them when they are on their own. Bereavement counselling is recommended for anyone, of any age whose loss seems ever whelming or whose life is being adversely affected by their grief. It is a known fact death within a family system has as profound impact on the remaining members or subsystems. This because of attachments or bonds that exist between family members or subsystems and in the event of breath of these ties, it results in anxiety, anger depression and emotional detachment. Human beings have a strong tendency to make strong affection bonds with others and react strongly when those bonds are broken. The extent to which human beings grieve a loss depends on how attaché d or close they were to the deceased. The loss brings about severe psychological wounding to a system or subsystem, and the loss together with the psychological wound brings change in a system through development crises.

This project will, it is hoped, give the reader a fundamental knowledge about people’s grief reactions and how they can be helped. This is the challenge, which forced many to write about bereavement counselling. it is important to remember that although one may have the knowledge, this will be of little help if the person using the knowledge does not provide it within the caring, empathic relationship( Dyregrov, 1191) occasionally the bereaved needs permission to stop grieving and require help to adapt to new roles.
