Grief

Grief is the emotional response to loss, particularly the loss of a loved one. It can encompass a range of feelings, including sadness, anger, confusion, and even relief. Grief is a natural process that varies greatly from person to person; some may feel intense sorrow while others may experience numbness. It often comes in waves, triggered by memories or specific reminders. Grieving is not a linear process and can take time, involving stages such as denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Support from friends, family, or professionals can help individuals navigate their grief.
