What is
Grief?

Experiencing grief can significantly impact mental health and often benefits from therapeutic support.

What Is It?

Grief is a natural emotional response to loss, most often the death of a loved one, but it can also follow other significant life changes. It involves a range of feelings, including sadness, anger, confusion, and longing, as people adjust to loss.

Common Experiences

People grieving may cry frequently, feel numb, struggle with sleep or appetite, or experience waves of intense sorrow. It’s common to feel guilt, loneliness, or even relief, depending on the circumstances. Grief is deeply personal and often unpredictable in its timing and intensity.

How It Can Affect You

Grief can impact physical health, emotional stability, and relationships. It may affect work, concentration, or the ability to engage socially. While grief often softens over time, some may need support to process it, especially if it becomes prolonged or overwhelming.
