Have you ever felt like your whole world stopped turning after losing someone you loved? Like
the air suddenly feels heavier, the days longer, and the silence louder? Grief doesn't just hit
you; it crashes into every part of your life, changing how you see everything around you—and
even yourself. It's a journey that no one wants to take, but most of us will face at some point.
Understanding what grief really is, why it feels so overwhelming, and how it affects us can be
the first step toward finding a way through the storm.
When someone close to us dies, it's normal to feel lost. You might feel sadness so deep it hurts
physically, or confusion that clouds your mind. Sometimes, grief shows up as anger, guilt, or
even numbness. You might find yourself replaying memories over and over, searching for
answers or wishing for just one more moment. These feelings can be exhausting and confusing
because grief doesn't follow a simple path. It's messy, unpredictable, and very personal.
