When you experience loss it may be well not to do anything you might not be able for now at the start. Are you physically looking after yourself? Are you getting sufficient sleep? Are you eating O.K.? Loss can feel hopeless.
Its important to be aware that grief is not just the loss of someone passing but of any loss that impacts our lives. The loss of a job, our youth, or the loss of a relationship. Even with the loss of a significant relationship the grief is impacted by the fact that the person that is lost to us is still alive.
