What is Grief?
Grief is a natural response to loss, typically the loss of a loved one. It can also be a response to other significant losses, such as the loss of a job or a relationship, or a major life change such as a move or
a diagnosis of a serious illness.
How do I know I’m grieving?
Grief can manifest in many different ways, including feelings of sadness, anger, guilt, and confusion. It can also cause physical symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, and changes in appetite or sleep patterns. The grieving process is different for everyone and can last for a varying amount of time.
Grief is not an event, but a process.
A natural reaction to loss is grief.
When something or someone you love is taken away, it causes you emotional pain. Loss's agonizing pain might frequently seem unmanageable. You might feel a wide range of challenging and unexpected feelings, such as bewilderment, guilt, shock, or extreme sadness. Grief pain can also interfere with your physical well-being, making it challenging to eat, sleep, or even think clearly. These are common responses to loss; the greater the loss, the stronger your grieving will be.
Need Guidance Navigating?
It's important to note that grief is a normal and healthy response to loss, and seeking support from friends, family, or a mental health professional can help individuals cope with the difficult emotions and
navigate the grieving process.
