Grief is often associated with the physical death of someone we care about. \u00a0While grief certainly is experienced when we lose someone we love, there are many different kinds of loss that might cause us to experience grief.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Grief is the natural and normal emotional response to loss of any kind. \u00a0 It\u00a0is conflicting feelings caused by a change or an end in a familiar pattern of life.
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

Grief is the emotional pain we experience from loss and is what we mean when we talk about grief. The intensity of this pain is influenced by the depth of the relationship we had to the loss.<\/p>\n

For many of us, when we experience loss that is not from the death of a person, it can be hard to understand what and why we are feeling what we do.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

For example<\/b>: when I experienced a change in my career, even though by my own choice, I experienced loss. \u00a0It was a significant change in my routine, lifestyle, and to a degree impacted my sense of identity and purpose. I experienced grief.<\/p>\n

There are many different kinds of loss<\/b> we may experience, and I wanted to share the following list with you. \u00a0I\u2019m pretty sure it\u2019s not exhaustive nor completely descriptive, but hopefully, it helps to\u00a0illustrate that there are losses other than death that can produce stress and grief. \u00a0Being aware can help understand what we are experiencing and take action to heal our heart!<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
