Navigating the Waves of Grief
Grief. The word itself carries a weight, a heaviness that settles upon us when someone or something dear is lost. It's a universal human experience, a complex mix of emotions such as sadness, anger, confusion, and a yearning for what no longer exists.. At some point in our lives, we will all encounter loss. It can come in many forms – the death of a loved one, the ending of a relationship, the loss of a job, or even the loss of a dream. Each experience carries its own unique imprint, and there's no right or wrong way to grieve.
