Grief is the process of learning to adjust life after a significant loss.
If you recently have lost someone in your life, this may be the first time that the word grief has become personal; no longer is death something that happens to other people in other places.
“The death of your life mate is not something you just "get over."
“The loss of a Child’s Death.”
“The loss of a Parent for a young child.”
“The loss of a Sibling, Coworker or Friend.”
There are different styles of grieving
Sadness, anger, fear, loneliness, guilt, and a few dozen other emotions are common to bereaved people.
