Understanding Grief and Loss: Exploring the Many Faces of Grief
Grief is an inevitable and deeply personal response to loss. It is not confined to death but extends to any significant change or separation that alters our sense of stability or belonging. Whether losing a loved one, a relationship, a job, or even a long-held dream, grief reflects our capacity for attachment and meaning-making (National Center for Biotechnology Information [NCBI], 2023). Understanding the many forms of grief helps us validate our experiences and seek compassionate support during times of pain and transformation.
