About Grief

Grief is hard. Very hard.

Grief is not a sickness. And although you may feel like you are going crazy sometimes, grief is not a mental illness.

Grief is the name of the road that is traveled after the death of a loved one. The pain of a broken heart is a human being's normal, healthy response to loss. Grief is the connection to the person no longer with us. It is more than just the sadness of missing someone — grief is a reorganizing of a whole life.
