Grief is a word to describe many powerful and painful feelings. It is associated with the death of someone you love. Not always, but usually. When our emotions become stronger than our ability to cope then please consider seeking help. A strong support network is ideal but not always possible - or actually wanted. For example, some find it easier to speak with a stranger than a friend and vice versa.
Grief Is Not Cut & Dried

We all feel grief in very different ways. Everything we feel is a natural reaction of the human heart but of our own heart. We are all different in our characters and personalities. Grief is grief - how it translates however can be different. Strong emotions can be the same - only manifested differently.

A spouse will grieve differently to their children and a parent will grieve differently to a sibling and a sibling will grieve differently to a cousin. Friends dying raise a completely different grief journey because the pain you feel can be diminished by others.

Our immune systems take a battering when we have been bereaved but if someone was in hospital or a hospice or if you were nursing them at home, you may well have been on autopilot before they died. You will have had no choice but to keep going. This can leave you beyond exhausted. I would always recommend seeing your doctor or practice nurse before any other action is taken, if this is you.
