Title

Navigating Bereavement With Spirituality-Based Interventions: Implications For Non-Faith-Based Counselors

Keywords

bereavement; grief and loss; non-faith-based; spiritual-based interventions; spirituality

Abstract

The relationship between spirituality and bereavement has been studied in a multitude of disciplines, yet there is a significant gap in the counseling literature on this topic. The authors explore how spirituality is often avoided in secular counseling settings, discuss adverse effects of unresolved grief on clients' functioning, and propose the concept that spirituality can be used to help clients through the bereavement process. Finally, the authors offer research and clinically based interventions that counselors, particularly those who do not identify as faith-based, can use to incorporate spirituality into their work with bereaved clients. © 2013 by the American Counseling Association.
