Grief is deemed to be a normal part of life and the process of grieving an often painful but necessary way to move forward to peace and acceptance. Grief occurs after a loss, whether that is loss of a beloved family member, a pet or a job or the breakdown of a relationship. Grief can cause you to feel hopeless, devsatated, overwhelmed, deeply heartbroken and alone. You may feel you will never come through it, but in time, you will. There is no right or wrong way to grieve. Everybody is different and has different ways of coping. Neither is there a definite time on how long it will take to get through your grief.
