What Is Grief

Grief is the deep, often overwhelming emotion that comes with loss—whether it's losing a loved one, a relationship, a job, or even a dream you once held close. It’s not just sadness; it can be a mix of emotions like anger, guilt, confusion, and sometimes even relief. It affects people differently, and there’s no set timeline or “right” way to grieve.

Some describe grief as waves—it ebbs and flows. Some days, it feels manageable, and other days, it crashes over you unexpectedly. Over time, it doesn’t necessarily disappear, but people often find ways to carry it with them in a way that feels lighter.
