Case Study: Healing His Bereavement Trauma
This case study is from a client who was struggling with the loss of his wife.
Problematic Life Event
Deep grief and emotional heaviness following the loss of his wife earlier than expected. A lot of his distress came from the fact that his wife didn’t listen to him much during the marriage, and that pattern continued all the way up to her passing.
Symptoms
The client experienced constant sadness and emotional overwhelm, especially at night. He often struggled to sleep, felt down throughout the day, and found it hard to engage with others or enjoy activities he used to like. His appetite was low, and there was a persistent heaviness in his chest — almost like a physical weight.
These symptoms were making it extremely difficult for him to function, maintain relationships, or feel any sense of joy in daily life.
Period of Duration
Approximately 1 year since the loss.
Session Breakdown
We started the session by briefly going through what had happened. As always, I reassured the client that he didn’t need to dive too deeply into the event if it felt too distressing. However, this client actually wanted to talk more, since he hadn’t spoken about his wife’s passing to anyone since it happened.
After discussing the event, we moved into the healing part of the session. Slowly and steadily, I began clearing the negative emotions trapped behind this experience.
As I worked, the client started to feel lighter and lighter, as if layers of emotional baggage were being released. A lot of his grief was tied to unresolved feelings around mistakes and issues from their marriage. But as the clearing continued, he felt more and more relief. Over the session, he experienced:
A sense of openness in his chest
Release of tension and emotional heaviness
A stronger feeling of calm and relaxation
End Result
By the end of the session:
The distressing life event felt completely clear to him
He could think about his wife without sadness
He no longer felt any animosity toward her for past mistakes
He felt reconnected to life instead of trapped in grief
He felt at ease and able to engage with life again
This is the typical outcome when a life event is fully healed — it becomes emotionally neutralised. Either the client can barely connect to it, or it no longer brings distress, negative thoughts, or painful memories.
For this client, the session was life-changing. He shared how relieved and grateful he was, because he had been struggling with this grief for many months. Now, he finally felt able to move forward rather than constantly being pulled back into the past.
Because of the powerful results, he booked several follow-up sessions to clear other past events that were still weighing on him.
