Grief is personal yet needs witnessing for healing. Unfortunately, the world does not stop to witness our pain and losses. Life still carries on while we grieve.

One step at a time...

In addition to grieving the loss of a loved one (a parent, a spouse, a child, a relative, or a colleague), we also grieve:

• • Losses of self, for example, through retirement, abortion, surgery, divorce, sexual abuse, physical illness.

• The loss of a job, personal possessions, pets, a home.

• Abstract losses such as of childhood, seasons of life, dreams, virility.

• Developmental losses such as of fertility, hearing, mobility.

• Other losses, for example, through divorce, miscarriage, war, geographical relocation, and separation.
