The Full Story
Understanding Grief
Grief is a natural response to loss, and it can affect every part of your life. Loss may come from the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, changes in health, identity shifts, or other significant life transitions. Grief doesn’t follow a set timeline or look the same for everyone. If you’re grieving, it’s important to know that you’re not alone and that there’s no “right” way to grieve. Support can make space for healing without rushing the process.
Common Experiences with Grief
Grief can show up in many emotional, physical, and relational ways, including:
-
Sadness, longing, or deep emotional pain
-
Anger, guilt, or confusion
-
Emotional numbness or feeling disconnected
-
Difficulty adjusting to life after loss
-
Changes in sleep, appetite, or energy
-
Moments of relief followed by waves of grief
