Mother’s Day Grief: Navigating the absence of loved ones

May 9, 2019Glenda O'Neill1 commentblog post, Family, Grief, Grief Support, griefandloss, Grieving Parents, mother's day, Moving Forward, novocounselling, Transition, Trauma

As this Mother’s Day approaches I sit here writing with some big, wild emotions. Torn between which one to share and make my focus. I’m a therapist, so addressing big emotions is what I do. But I’ll confess, perhaps not surprisingly, that there are moments in my own journey that are incredibly challenging. More so…

Holding Space

January 18, 2019Glenda O'NeillNo CommentsEmotional Support, Grief, griefandloss, Growth Mindset, Holding Space, Hope, Loss, Moving Forward, novocounselling, Self Care, self-love, Unconditional Love; blog post

There is a concept I was never fully aware of how to define or put words to until about 12 months ago when I heard two of my beautiful friends use this particular phrase. The use of this term intrigued me and caused me to do my own reflection and research into what it meant…

A Picture Perfect Christmas?!

December 12, 2018Glenda O'NeillNo CommentsChristmas, Christmas and Family, Family, Grief, Grief and Christmas, Grief Support, Loss, Moving Forward, novocounselling, Transition and Grief; blog post

Personally, I love the Christmas season. It has such special significance for my family and I as we celebrate the most precious of things to us. My childhood years were filled with an abundance of memorable (even ridiculous) moments, rituals and traditions that will be impressed upon my heart and mind for the rest of…

‘Tis the Season

I’m going to be really up front and honest with you! Over the last week I’ve had a handful of different ideas about what I wanted to share with you this month. As time drew closer I found myself really wrestling with this. It’s been a new experience for me on this platform, because every…

We Will Remember Them

November 11, 2017Glenda O'NeillNo CommentsAnxiety, Australian Defence Force, Depression, Family, Grief, Grief Support, griefandloss, mindmatters, novocounselling, pain, PTSD, purpose, Remembrance Day, Trauma

As Australians we have two special days in our calendar each year dedicated to honouring and remembering our incredible service men and women in the Defence Forces. Anzac Day and Remembrance Day are both days throughout my years that I remember with fondness. Growing up, I didn’t have a personal connection with anyone in the…

Embrace the Process

I remember the epic journey from my small country-home-town in my little Ford Laser, driving 900 kilometres across the country to the new, much less familiar regional city I had eagerly committed to making my home in for at least the next few years. This was a transition I was more than excited about. Here…

How could a parent possibly ever recover from the death of a child?

August 12, 2017Glenda O'Neill3 commentsChildren, Family, Grief, griefandloss, Grieving Parents, Loss, meaning, novocounselling, purpose, tragedy, Trauma

This is a focus I’ve had in my heart for some time, but have grappled with how to present it in a way that gives due respect and honour to parents who have endured (and continue to endure) the horrible reality of losing a child. While there are many types of grief that I’ve personally…

Discovering Purpose In Your Pain

July 13, 2017Glenda O'Neill2 commentsAnxiety, Grief, Grief Support, griefandloss, Grieving Parents, Loss, meaning, novocounselling, pain, purpose, stress, tragedy

Throughout my lifetime I have come to understand that our lives as human beings are littered with both incredible beauty and intense pain. There were times particularly earlier in my life, where I found myself asking ‘Why me?’ In those moments of heartbreak and wonder I’m not sure I ever really found an answer to…

Infertility: The heartbreak of hope deferred

“Having children may not be a reality for you!” These words echoed like gun-shots through my mind over and over again. If you’ve ever heard these words uttered to you by someone in the medical profession you will understand the intense shock and pain that follows. Despite the gentle manner in which these words had been delivered,…

Through a Child’s Eyes

May 10, 2017Glenda O'NeillNo CommentsChildren & Grief, Grief, Grief Support, Grieving Parents, Teens & Grief

In the blink of an eye, as an impressionable 13 year old navigating my way through the turbulent world of teenage-hood, I found myself plunged into a world of heartache and grief that I had never imagined possible. I had no idea who to turn to. I had my parents, who were navigating their own…
