Grief & Loss
Grief is a Journey
Grief is a natural response to loss and is a process that unfolds over time. Losing someone you love is a deeply personal experience and there is no "right way" to grieve or set timeline for mourning. While life holds both joy and sorrow, the passing of someone close - whether expected or sudden - can feel too overwhelming at times to navigate on your own.
​
Grief is shaped by many factors and can leave you feeling unprepared for the intense emotions that can arise including: sadness, loneliness, guilt, regret, anger, anxiety, helplessness and powerlessness. It can also lead to lethargy, isolation, worry, crying and a change in sleep or appetite. When the hard days begin to outweigh the good ones, reaching out for support can make a difference. Although it may feel uncomfortable at first, exploring your loss with a compassionate listener can help you to understand your emotions, your needs and the inner strengths that will support your new reality.
The song has ended, but the melody lingers on.
