Grief

It can feel like an enormous wave, bringing a mix of emotions that are hard to navigate. You might feel lost, numb, or stuck, unsure of how to move forward without the person, pet, or meaningful connection you’ve lost. Memories may trigger sadness, and everyday moments can be reminders of what’s missing. Whether the loss was recent or happened some time ago, the weight of grief can be isolating and difficult to bear alone.

What is Grief?

Grief is a natural response to loss, but it is often misunderstood. It’s not just about sadness; it can involve a wide range of feelings, including anger, guilt, confusion, or even relief. The process is unique for everyone, with no set timeline. While some may move through stages of grief smoothly, others might cycle through feelings repeatedly or feel stuck at one stage. Understanding that there’s no “right” way to grieve can provide a sense of relief. Healing is not about forgetting, but about finding ways to honor the loss while still living a meaningful life.
