Losing someone significant in our lives is an experience of bereavement. It is defined by grieving, the series of events and feelings we go through after the loss of a loved one.

Everyone will grieve differently, and there is no standard way to do so. You might feel nothing at all, or you might feel every kind of emotion and feel overwhelmed. You might find it simple to communicate, or you might keep all of your feelings inside. In mourning, there are no rules. No matter what, treat yourself with kindness and allow yourself some time to recover.

People are affected differently by bereavement, grief, and loss, and they can create a wide range of symptoms. Feelings are not right or wrong, which can be confusing. In addition to grief, there are various forms of loss, such as ending a relationship, losing one's job, or losing one's house.

Among the most typical symptoms are shock and numbness, which are the initial feelings experienced after a loss, and people frequently describe "being in a daze" or experiencing intense sadness, crying a lot, and feeling fatigued or exhausted. Guilt can be felt over things like being angry, saying or not saying anything, or not being able to stop a loved one from dying.

When a loved one passes away, they are typically recalled in a positive light; yet, regrettably, secrets can occasionally surface, which can cause conflicting emotions that may lead to betrayal and resentment. These emotions can make the grieving process difficult and perplexing, and trying to make sense of them on your own can be isolating. It takes longer to cope and move on when emotions are swallowed or suppressed. It's empowering, supportive, and easier to deal with when emotions are expressed.
