Grief and Loss

Losing someone or something important to you is one of life's most challenging experiences, and it can feel especially overwhelming during your teenage years. Whether you're dealing with the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, moving away from friends, or any other significant loss, what you're feeling is completely valid and normal.

Grief isn't just sadness—it's a complex mix of emotions that can include anger, confusion, guilt, relief, or even numbness. Sometimes it hits you in waves when you least expect it, and other times it might feel like a constant weight. There's no "right" way to grieve, and there's no timeline you need to follow.

Grief can feel isolating, but you're not alone in this journey. Many teens face loss and find ways to heal while keeping the memory of what they've lost close to their hearts. Healing doesn't mean forgetting—it means learning to carry your love and memories in a way that allows you to move forward.
