Grief comes from the loss of someone or something significant in our lives. How it affects us and how we deal with it differs from person to person. There are, however, stages of grief that we can expect to experience as we come to terms with our loss. No two people will go through the stages in the same way and we each need to find healing and acceptance in our own time.

 

When in the midst of grief or bereavement, it's important to give yourself permission to feel what you need to feel and to express it in whichever way feels right for you: there is no right or wrong way to grieve - only your way.
