“No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.” C. S, Lewis.

​

Grief is the reaction to loss and it is different and unique for every person, and sometimes we just get stuck. Having strong feelings of sadness and loneliness, some fear, anxiety, guilt, resentment, anger, or shame is perfectly normal after a loss but people need to pay attention to these feelings and resolve them. Sometimes that doesn’t happen. Sometimes people continue to feel like they can’t accept the death, even though they know perfectly well that it happened. As David Kessler so beautifully puts it, “your loss doesn’t get smaller, you just grow bigger.” I can show you how.
