Dealing with Grief
Grief is a complex and multifaceted response to loss, whether it be the death of a loved one or the end of a significant relationship. It encompasses a range of emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, as well as physical and spiritual experiences. While bereavement refers to the state of loss itself, grief is the process of coming to terms with that loss and finding ways to cope and move forward. It is a deeply personal and individual experience, and there is no right or wrong way to grieve.
