Throughout our lifetimes, we encounter various forms of grief. The loss of a loved one, a job, a relationship, or even a beloved pet - they all carry the potential to trigger profound grief. Grief is an unavoidable part of the human experience, touching the lives of us all in some way. Every person's experience of grief is as unique as their fingerprint, affecting them in deeply personal ways.
In our modern society, grief is often overshadowed by a collective reluctance to talk, think, or feel the profound emotions that accompany loss. We're encouraged to "forget about it", "move on", or worse, asked why we still dwell on our grief. The celebration of birth is widespread, yet the acknowledgment of the void left by a departed loved one is often overlooked. Society pressures us to "get over it", but we're seldom taught how to cope with the overwhelming weight of loss.
