What is Grief?


Grief is a normal human reaction to loss.

Most people experience a significant loss at some time during their lives, and as a result will go through a process of grief.

Grief is not just a state of mind, it is an all consuming experience that affects the way we think, feel and behave. In today's society we are not taught how to deal with the range of emotions and experiences associated with grief. As a result those experiencing it often feel very alone and unable to cope.

Mind Power Solutions offers you various ways to help you work through your grief and find better ways of coping, including:


  • Counselling
  • Hypnotherapy
  • CD Set
  • Group Program


  • CD Set -
    Grieving, Loss and Grief

    The CD Set consists of three CD's and a personal workbook, providing you with an understanding of the entire grief process from survival through to healing and growth.

    The personal workbook contains a summary of the process presented on the CD's, together with practical exercises.
