Throughout the course of our years, we all experience a loss at some point in our lives. Grief and loss are not always associated with death, however, but commonly surface after a loss of some kind – whether it is the loss of a loved one, a severed relationship, a pregnancy, a pet, or a job.
When a person loses something or someone valuable to them, feelings of grief can be overwhelming. Grief can leave a person feeling sad, hopeless, isolated, irritable, and numb by affecting them mentally, emotionally, and physically. It’s important to understand that healing from grief is a process and everyone copes with this emotion differently.
Many times, the people around you are encouraging you to "move on" even though you are not ready. This can be painful and sometimes feel alienating. Letting others know how you feel can feel daunting. Patience with yourself is essential.
It is common for people to feel guilt, sorrow, or even anger and other intense emotions. This is normal and there are ways to cope.
