Grief is different for everyone
That’s why it can feel as though no one gets it.
Often people around you just don’t know what to do or say
You might not even know what you need from others. As a result, you may end up doing the least helpful thing… isolating yourself from others.
Grief doesn’t have a timeline
As time passes, people expect you to be “over it,” but you’re not.
You go to work and do the things that need doing, but at times you’re overcome with sadness.
Other times you might actually have a laugh or enjoy yourself; then you feel guilty.
Grief has many faces
People often feel like they do not have the right to be overwhelmed about a job loss, a pet having died, or children leaving home. They say that other people have “real” tragedies.
No one can judge how a loss affects you. Even routine life events can feel like a tremendous loss, so it’s important to talk with someone who will understand how difficult life transitions (even good ones) can be.
We all experience losses that we may not even recognize. When you have a change in your health or you leave a bad relationship – you may experience grief.
Grief is normal
But nobody teaches us how to grieve.

Using different techniques like mindfulness, I can help you process the loss without losing yourself.
