Grief is a natural response to loss, whether it be the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship such as divorce, a major life transition, or any significant change. It is different for each person and can involve a range of emotions, from sadness and anger to confusion and guilt.
Grief doesn't follow a linear path, and it's normal for individuals to experience a rollercoaster of emotions as they adjust to life after loss.It can manifest emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Grief & Loss
Coping with grief involves allowing oneself to mourn, seeking support from loved ones or professionals, and finding ways to honor and remember what has been lost. While the pain of loss may never completely fade, over time, individuals can learn to adjust to their new reality and find meaning in their experiences, allowing them to eventually move forward with renewed hope and resilience.
