Grief is the natural human reaction to significant loss. It can be overwhelming. The intensity and duration of grief, as well as some of the physical and emotional symptoms common to grieving, take many people by surprise, especially if this is their first major loss. Often people only attribute grief to the loss that occurs when a loved one passes away. However, loss and the grief that emerges can be deeply felt through divorce, changes in career, relationship struggles, health concerns, stages of life, and much more. Family and friends want to help but often find themselves at a loss. They frequently do not know what to say or do. Finding a gentle, caring, and supportive person is often the best way to begin the healing process. I understand grief and will not shy away from your experience.
