Understanding Grief
Grief is a natural response to the death of someone important to you. It can affect your thoughts, emotions, body, relationships, and daily life.
You may feel sadness, anger, guilt, worry, relief, or many feelings at once. You may have trouble sleeping or concentrating. Some days may feel manageable, while others feel overwhelming. Children and teens may express grief through their behavior, play, questions, or changes at school.
There is no one right way to grieve and no set timeline for healing. Your experience may be shaped by your relationship with the person who died, the circumstances of the death, your culture and beliefs, and the support around you. Birthdays, holidays, and other reminders may bring up strong feelings, even after time has passed.
Healing does not mean forgetting the person who died. It can mean finding ways to carry their memory while adapting to life after the loss.
When Grief Feels Overwhelming
For some people, grief remains very intense and makes it hard to manage daily life for a long time. They may feel a deep longing for the person who died, have difficulty accepting the death, or feel disconnected from others.
Sometimes, a mental health professional may identify these experiences as prolonged grief disorder. This diagnosis is considered when intense grief continues for at least one year after the death for adults, or at least six months for children and teens, and causes significant difficulty in daily life. Time alone does not determine whether someone has the disorder. A trained professional considers the person’s full experience, including their cultural and personal circumstances.
You do not have to wait a certain amount of time to ask for support. If grief is affecting your daily life, reaching out can be a helpful first step.
