Everyone will grieve for a loss at one time or another. Dealing with grief is a human experience that comes with being, well — human.
The grieving process requires you to work through your own physical, mental, and emotional reactions to the death of an important person in your life.
Grief isn’t reserved solely for death, either. You might not realize that many life-altering events (even some that are for the better) will require dealing with grief.
Divorce, job loss, an unexpected move, illness, loss of a beloved pet, etc. — can cause you to enter into what’s been called “the grieving process”.
