Grief is perhaps an unknown territory for you. You might feel both helpless and hopeless without a sense of a 'map' for the journey. Confusion is the hallmark of a transition. To rebuild both your inner and outer world is a major project.

Just as the body goes into shock after a physical trauma, so does the human psyche go into shock after the impact of a major loss.

Grief is a normal and natural response to loss. It is originally an unlearned feeling process. Keeping grief inside increases your pain.

Break any problem into, or make any changes in, small increments.

Grief is a process, not a state.
