Coming to terms with the loss of a loved one is a complicated process.
We all grieve in different ways. If your grief is significantly impacting on your ability to carry out your job or life at home, it is important to seek out professional support.
This can include the support of psychologists, psychiatrists or grieve counsellors. Having the support of someone outside of your family can allow you the chance to really express yourself (without feeling like you might hurt someone or burden someone you love).
A professional can also give you a realistic assessment of your grieve, helping you understand what is normal versus what might need careful support or attention.
Although grief is a unique experience, talking about our feelings and thoughts is an important ritual in coming to terms with our loss.
Loss is always confusing, and talking during this experience can help us to start make sense of this loss.
