What is Grief?
When an individual goes through a great loss, they can experience an emotional and even physical response called grief. Grief can be experienced by the loss of anything in life, not just the death of a loved one. Any kind of loss, if it is personally significant, can trigger grief including the loss of a job, letting go of a dream, or the end of a relationship. The process of grieving impacts an individual’s physical and emotional health; as the brain works hard to process grief, there is less energy to focus on keeping the body healthy.

Symptoms of grief can include feelings of deep sadness, bursts of anger, lack of energy, loss of sleep, and loss of appetite. There is no one right way to grieve and every person grieves in the ways that are right for them. However, when these feelings become overwhelming, they can interfere with an individual’s ability to perform day-to-day tasks. The only way around feelings of grief is through them, and professional help can aid in the healing process.

What is Grief Therapy?
Coming to terms with grief and making sense of these feelings can be an extremely painful process. But you don’t have to do it alone.
