Grief & Loss
Have you just lost someone or something you love? Are you having trouble coping? Are you experiencing feelings of sorrow, numbness, anger, guilt, depression, irritability, or anxiety? If so, you could be having some trouble with grieving and coping with the loss.
The loss of a life can be very stressful and traumatic. It may result to a major emotional crisis. As a loss goes unacknowledged or unattended, it can result to severe problems. Unfortunately, loss is an inevitable part of life, and grief is a natural part of the healing process. Grief is the normal, internal feeling one experiences in reaction to a loss, while bereavement is the state of having experienced that loss. The words sorrow and heartache are often used to describe feelings of grief. Whether you lose a beloved person, animal, place, or object, or a valued way of life (such as your job, marriage, or good health), some level of grief will naturally follow.
