The loss of a loved one can be one of the hardest experiences you will ever face in life. When a loved one dies, the loss is often marked by intense grief, sadness, pain, anger, or even relief that a loved one is no longer suffering. Grief is a natural and normal process, but everyone's experience of grief will be different and unique. Allow yourself to experience grief in your own way. Talk about the loss as much as you want to and need to. Seek out friends and family members who are willing to listen without judgement or censure. There are healthy ways of coping with loss, and now it is your task to let yourself discover the things that bring you comfort and healing.
