Grief involves coping with loss. Death, divorce and the loss of a home are all major events that people grieve. While everyone’s experience of grief is different, there are common responses that can be useful to recognise if you’re facing a loss. Whether grieving or supporting someone else, practice patience as you work through this difficult time.
Below are some useful resources to help cope with grief.
