Grief and Loss 

We all experience times of grief and loss. Some examples include loss of a loved one, relationship, pregnancy, pet, job or way of life.  The more significant the loss, the more intense the grief is likely to be. Everyone feels and expresses grief differently. It affects your emotions, thoughts and behaviour, beliefs, physical health, your sense of self and identity, and your relationships with others. Grief can leave you feeling sad, angry, anxious, shocked, regretful, relieved, overwhelmed, isolated, irritable or numb. Some people may grieve for weeks, and months and others grieve for years. For help understanding and working through a time of grief click on following link. https://www.beyondblue.org.au/the-facts/grief-and-loss
