Grief & Loss

Grief is a natural response to losing someone or something important, and can follow many kinds of change or loss.

Everyone experiences grief differently. It’s not about getting over it, but finding ways to carry it and keep living meaningfully.

Support can help reduce isolation and make sense of your experience.

Signs & Symptoms Of Grief

People experience grief in many ways including the following: 

  • Intense sadness or yearning

  • Anger, irritability, or frustration

  • Shock, disbelief, or numbness

  • Guilt or regret

  • Anxiety or fear about the future

  • Difficulty concentrating or remembering things

  • Physical symptoms such as fatigue, sleep difficulties, or changes in appetite

  • Feeling disconnected from others

  • Searching for meaning or questioning beliefs

 

Grief often comes in waves. Feelings can change day to day, and even moment to moment.
