On some level we all experience grief whether it is the loss of a job, loss of a loved one or the loss of a pet. Grief can be very disorienting. It can leave you feeling you are lost at sea with no land in sight. The waves continue to wash over you with a myriad of feelings such as sadness, loss of energy and purpose, depression, apathy, darkness, or hopelessness. And this isn’t an exhaustive list of how grief may impact you. There is no map on how to get out of grief. There is no safe shortcut to get over grief. There is no timetable for getting over your grief. The truth is you just have to go through it.

Sometimes our friends and family won’t understand our grief and will say hurtful things even though they are trying to be helpful. Sometimes people have pre-conceived ideas about how one should be processing grief and freely let you know when you are not doing it “right”. There isn’t a “right way” to go through grief. The truth is that every person’s grief journey will be unique.

The good news is there are resources and tools that can be extremely helpful on the journey through grief. Just being able to talk freely about your grief with someone who understands the nature of grief can be extremely helpful. Making connections with a group of people that are also on the journey can also be very encouraging during the arduous grief trek. While grief can be so isolating and even paralyzing, making the choice to equip yourself with the right tools can be tremendous help during your grief journey.
