Grief has many facets and will be different for everyone. It is not able to be easily summed up into a neat set of ‘stages’ – it follows the path of the individual and their relationship to the loss, and their unique personality.

Grief affects every part of us – our thinking, our emotions, our social being, our behaviour and our spirituality. We can feel as if we are in a fog – lacking motivation, concentration, inability to make decisions. We can feel fatigued, irritated, unable to sleep, withdrawn, nauseated, sleepless. These and so many other effects can have us feeling like we are out of control and wondering if our grief is normal.

Remember there is no time limit to grief and no right or wrong way to grieve. But sometimes we may need some help to work through what has happened to us and reassurance that what we are experiencing is normal. Sometimes we get stuck in our grief and need some help to find a way to reengage with life.
