Challenges

• The challenge of finding a new spouse or companion is a common complaint among widows and widowers.

• In retirement communities, assisted living facilities, and nursing homes, widows typically outnumber widowers.

How online counselling be helpful?

• Grief manifests itself differently in each person. There is no right or wrong method for someone to grieve. If you or someone you know is mourning, you might wish to turn to friends, family, support groups, or an online counsellor.
• Online grief counselling may be very helpful because it is less expensive, more easily accessible, and more widely available.
