Grief and Loss
Most of us “understand” the idea of grief when referring to physically losing someone and the often seemingly unbearable pain that accompanies that type of loss.
However, as humans we experience grief and loss in many different ways throughout our lifetime. We experience grief with change, whether it’s change we initiated or change that happens to us. We experience grief and loss as we transition through different life stages and within relationships, environments and systems. It’s important that we find ways to develop a relationship with grief that moves us away from suffering and allows us to make space for things that are difficult and unpleasant. Our grief will always be with us, and we need to find ways to carry it with us.
