Grief is not a moment in time
Following the loss of a loved one, it’s important to remember the grieving process has no set timeline. We don’t just grieve the moment they pass and move on. Instead, we grieve the past and present. We grieve what could have been the future. This is because our loved one is more than just one moment in time.
While there’s no right or wrong way to grieve your loss, there are healthy ways to cope, including:
- Accept that grief can trigger unexpected feelings, including anger and denial.
- Understand that the grieving process will be unique to you
and your situation. Seek out support from trusted family members, friends, and professional support groups. Support yourself emotionally by taking care of yourself physically. You can’t rush your grief, so allow yourself as much time as you need to process your feelings surrounding the loss.
