Are you grieving?

Grief is often synomonous with death but it can encompass all types of loss.  Grief is deep sorrow due to a change or anticipated change to our current sense of normalcy. It is a normal part of life to grieve. When grief becomes too much or consumes our thoughts, it is important to find a resolution that can bring your grief into a more managable space. The goal is never to "get over" your grief but should be to learn how to move forward and grow with it.
