Supporting Others Through Separation
“They’ve separated and I don’t know what to do to help them”Separation is difficult, not just for the couple themselves and any children that may be involved but also for the wider circle of family, friends and colleagues.
It is hard to look on when someone you know has separated and they or their children are finding it difficult to cope. As someone who cares, their pain and distress will have an impact on you too and you may also experience similar feelings of loss, anger and anxiety.
Grandparents, parents, siblings and close friends especially may be drawn into the situation and feel under pressure to ‘sort things out’ but be unsure what to do and experience a sense of powerlessness and frustration.
At Relationships Ireland, our professionals can help you to support someone who is going through a separation/divorce so that you don’t feel helpless or become overwhelmed yourself. Contact us if you would like to make an appointment to visit one of our certified counsellors.
