What is Grief?
Grief is a strong emotional reaction that a person may experience when faced with the loss of a loved one.  Grief can affect us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.  Mourning is a healthy process of the expression of our grief
that, with time, allows us to heal and learn to carry on.


Things You Can Do to Begin to Heal
  1. Express your feelings, and get support.  Talk to someone about how you feel to help you understand your own emotions. and begin to accept what has happened.
  2. Take care of yourself both physically and emotionally.  Get lots of sleep, go for a walk, connect with nature, or spend time with friends. Keep yourself busy with pleasant activities
  3. Find meaning in the experience. There is an opportunity to learn and grow from difficult experiences that happen in our lives. Think about what you have learned about yourself, others, and life as a result of going through this loss.
