Grief and Loss

Grief is the anguish experienced after a significant loss. Grief may include physiological distress, anxiety, confusion, yearning, dwelling on the past, or apprehension about the future. While grief is something everyone will experience, some types of grief can also create feelings of isolation which is why support groups and other resources can be so helpful.
