Introduction Grief counseling, or also known as grief counseling, is a type of counseling in which it deals with individuals who are reacting to trauma-related grief. One of the characteristics of bereavement counseling, as mentioned in Wheeler-Roy and Amyot's (2004) guide, is that bereavement counselors need to see the bereaved as teachers, the bereaved are the experts on their grief, so they should be the bereaved this would mean teaching counselors about their experience. A grief counselor should never set and build goals or expectations about what the grieving person should feel. Grief counseling is not new to the counseling field. In 1917, Sigmund Freud published an article “Mourning and Melancholia”, in which the processes: investment, disinvestment and hyperinvestment were discussed in the article. These processes include withdrawing emotional energy from the deceased, detaching and re-examining the deceased's thoughts and memories. Freud believed that through this process, although painful, only then can the grieving person achieve detachment from the deceased. This theory then became one of the fundamental factors for understanding pain in subsequent years (Malton, 2012). Fast forward to today's society, Freud's theory has been developed by other grief researchers, deriving new concepts about the grief experience (Wright & Hogan, 2008). With these new concepts, grief counseling has also become more popular as it deals with teaching us how to cope with the death and loss of a loved one; pain would also encourage personal growth if addressed correctly.

The second type are services where volunteers are selected, trained and supported by professionals. The third type of service involves self-help groups in which people who have lost a loved one give help to other people who are experiencing the same thing. Grief counseling does not necessarily have to be done in a professional office, although it can be done that way. . Parkes (1980) supports this and states: “Telephone contacts and office consultations are no substitute for home visits.” Counseling sessions do not necessarily have to take place in a more formal office environment (even when the counselor wants to make a clear contract with the client about the goals and objectives of their interactions) because home visits are also a useful way..
