Grief is a Normal and Common Response to Loss.
We all experience grief at some point in our lives. It’s a reaction to loss which encompasses a wide variety of feelings. Significant losses take us on a journey through guilt, sadness, regret, and other painful emotions that can be difficult to recover from. We usually associate grief with the loss of a loved one, be that a partner, parent, child, sibling or friend, but grief can also be the response to other losses, including separation or divorce, retirement, the loss of our health, the loss of a pet or important possessions or a relocation. Often less talked about yet no less painful is the grief that can occur in response to infertility, miscarriage or abortion.
There is no right or wrong way to grieve; its presentation differs from one person to another and may also be influenced the cultural and family context.
