While the death of a loved one is one of the most recognized and painful forms of grief, it is not the only kind. Grief can follow many kinds of losses. Grief is a natural emotional response to loss. And loss can show up in so many ways beyond death.

Asking how long grief will last is the most common question asked. Whether it is you who has suffered the loss that is asking the question or others wondering when you will return to “normal.” There is no “normal” timetable for grieving a loss.

Are you wondering if you are coping with grief and loss? While most people associate grief with the loss of a loved one causing the most intense feeling of grief-you may experience grief from other losses.
