What is Grief?

It’s hard to put into words exactly what grief is because it is so different for each person, but yet it’s so universal. Simply stated, grief is a normal response to loss—any loss. It is a process in which deep sorrow is felt for the purpose of letting go of what was to make room for something new. I love Dr. John Townsend’s definition: letting go of something you can’t have in order to make room for something you need. It can be letting go of an unhealthy relationship to make room for a new, healthy one, or it can be letting go of the relationship you had with someone who has died and forming a new relationship with the memory of that person. Just because you lose someone to death doesn’t mean you can’t still have a continuing bond with them because love never dies. Sometimes, you just need to feel all the feels because denying your feelings will only cause them to grow and come out in other ways.
