Grief is a complex and individualized response to loss that can occur following the death of a loved one or significant changes such as the loss of health, relationships, or life roles. It can impact well-being across a variety of domains and can include common experiences including sadness, numbness, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. While there is no “right” way to grieve, many individuals move through the process with time, support, and connection. For those experiencing prolonged or complicated grief, evidence-based interventions—such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or meaning-centered approaches—can help individuals process their loss, manage associated symptoms, and reconnect with a sense of purpose.
