Grief

 

Loss happens to everyone. It is part of life. You should know that the loss of a loved through death or the ending of a relationship is one of life’s most stressful events and can cause a major emotional crisis. The most common response to loss is grief. When you experience the loss of someone you love, you are forced to deal with grief. Grief is something that everyone will experience during their lifetime.

Grieving is a process. You must give yourself time to grieve for as long as necessary. Each person grieves in his own way and in his own time. Some people need more time to grieve, than others, so don't be hard on yourself if you have to grieve longer than you think you should.

If you find that you are not able to overcome the grief, it seems to be going on for too long, is getting in the way of doing other things in life, or you feel constantly numb, counselling can be a very effective way of assisting you through this very distressing time.
