Grief is the intense emotional reaction and distress in response to loss, usually associated with death.
However, grief can encompass significantly more experiences than just death – separation or the ending of a close relationship, can also bring about elements of grief.
A very natural process, and often a significant part of processing and moving beyond the pain and suffering to create new direction and a shift in daily life.
Grief, however, often brings many uncomfortable emotions which most of us find difficult to experience and express.
