Grief isn't a light-hearted experience. Grieving refers to the process of recovering from any form of loss. It can encompass a wide range of emotions such as fear, anger, and deep sadness.
The process of adapting to a loss can dramatically change from person to person.
A few common symptoms of grief are:
Physical
- Crying and sighing
- Headaches
- Loss of appetite
- Difficulty sleeping
- Weakness
- Fatigue
Emotional
- Feelings of sadness and yearning
- Feelings of worry or anger
- Feelings of frustration or guilt
Social
- Feeling detached from others
- Self-isolation from social contact
- Behaving in ways that are not normal for you
Every experience of grief is different. A person may be able to continue their day-to-day routine, or be unable to get out of bed. Whatever your personal symptoms are, grief counseling has been proven to help.
