Grief is normal

Grief is a natural reaction to loss, whether you’re grieving the death of a loved one or another kind of loss–the end of a relationship, a deep disappointment or a move to a new community.

When you grieve, you’ll experience a tangled web of emotions including sadness, shock, numbness, anger, frustration, denial and acceptance.

One thing is clear. Life is changed forever.
