What is Grief and Loss?

What is Grief and Loss?
Grief is a natural emotional response to losing someone or something important to you. It can involve intense feelings of sadness, anger, confusion, and loneliness. Loss can be related to the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, losing a job, or even major life changes such as illness or moving away.
Everyone experiences grief differently, and there’s no “right” way or timeline to grieve. It can affect your thoughts, emotions, body, and behavior, sometimes making daily life feel overwhelming.
At its core, grief is the process of adapting to a significant change—and with the right support, healing is possible.
