Among the misunderstandings people have concerning grief is that they think it is the reaction only to the death of a loved one. But we experience a sense of loss when something or someone that belonged to us and was of immense value has been taken from our lives, leaving in their place a void that we are sometimes unable to fill...not only to death.

If you find yourself grieving over any the following transitions it is just natural and you need to pay attention to your feelings.

Losses you may be experiencing: • Divorce or break-up.r
• Loss of health.r
• Loss of a job?r
• Retirement.r
• Financial Hardships.r
• Empty Nest.r
• Taking Care of Aging Parents

When you face a loss…yes, you may be angry and you may be depressed..but don’t give up. You possess many resources to work through your grief, bounce back, transform your loss, and find meaning in life again.
I wish you a beautiful day,

Do we wonder why we tend to do the same thing even knowing it is not conducive to a positive outcome?
