Throughout the course of our years, we all experience loss and change at some point in our lives. Feelings of grief is not always associated with loss from death but commonly surface after a loss of some kind. There are many sources of grief – whether it is the loss of a loved one, a severed relationship, a pregnancy, a pet, or a job.

 When a person loses something or someone valuable to them, feelings of grief can be overwhelming. Grief can produce feelings of sadness, hopelessness, isolation, irritability, and anger, affecting mental, emotional, and physical functioning. Healing from grief is a process and everyone copes with this experience in unique ways.
