Counsellor speaks on Kate Gyamfua's mother's demise
Speaking to YEN.com.gh in an interview, Ama Nsroma, counsellor and head of Nsroma Consult, discussed how the loss of a parent can impact someone's emotional well-being and coping mechanisms.
She also detailed some healthy ways for individuals to grieve and process their loss, particularly in the public eye.
She said:
"One of the most significant and emotionally demanding traumatic events in life is losing a parent. Losing a parent can cause intense emotions of grief, loss, loneliness, and a sense of lost identity, regardless of age."
"Accepting the loss and letting oneself grieve is the first step. People shouldn't put too much pressure on themselves to heal quickly because there is no 'correct' time frame for healing."
"Seeking comfort and help from close friends, family, religious communities, or licensed counsellors can help individuals cope with challenging emotions."
