The Grieving Process
Grief is a natural response to loss. It’s the emotional suffering you feel when something or someone you love is taken away. The grieving process is unique to each person and can involve a wide range of emotions. There is no right or wrong way to grieve, but there are healthy ways to cope with the pain.
