Grieving

Grieving Grief is a natural and necessary process experienced by all people, to one degree or another, after the occurrence of a loss. Significant losses, such as the death of someone close to you, the breakup up of a close relationship/friendship, or the loss of hopes and dreams, are some of life’s most stressful occurrences. Grieving is an adaptive response to loss. It is not a weakness, but an experience which requires time, patience, and hard work.Grieving is a process unique to each individual. Different people (even members of the same family) experience their grief in different ways.Grief may be complicated by prior experiences of loss, traumatic events surrounding the loss (e.g. suicide), a history of difficult relationships, or other social or personal factors (e.g. lack of social support). It can be especially helpful to seek assistance when a grieving process is complicated by other factors or events.
