Coping with Grief and loss

The death of a loved one can bring a range of feelings and emotions. Coping with a loss can be extremely difficult.

Grief is the way we react to loss, and we find it to be a process rather than a destination. We also find that there is no right way to grieve.

Taking time to reflect on the death of a loved one is a healthy way to cope with grief.

This section explores how someone who has experienced grief, or someone who is supporting a bereaved family member or friend, has learnt to cope with this loss as they share their experiences.
