Trying to juggle the final care of a loved one and managing all the necessary end-of-life tasks, while processing grief feels like stumbling in the dark. Having personally experienced the emotional toll it can take, I was inspired to make sure others do not have to face it alone.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Let’s Talk About Grief<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

What is Grief?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Grief is often associated with a person\u2019s death. While that may be the most common association that comes to mind, grief can creep in other forms. It can come through the loss of ability and independence\u2026or perhaps the ending of a relationship or career.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
Some caregivers experience Anticipatory Grief, struggling to stay present as they watch a loved one\u2019s decline and prepare themselves for what is to come. Others may experience Delayed Grief as they struggle to stay strong until all necessary responsibilities and obligations have been fulfilled. Even in complicated or estranged relationships, grief can surprise you as it manifests into feelings of loss over \u201cwhat could have been\u201d or a missed opportunity to make amends. <\/h5>\n\n\n\n

What happens to you during grief?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Grief is a deeply personal experience and there is no \u201cright\u201d way to get through it. Variables such as individual coping styles, life experiences, personal philosophies and spiritual beliefs, mix with the depth and intricacies of our relationships, and the nature of the loss itself.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
Ideally, grief would fall into a linear progression with a predetermined duration. Unfortunately, it may be more apt to think of it as an emotional roller coaster. Just when you think you have it figured out, another twist or drop may be waiting to reveal itself. Those navigating grief may experience any combination of the following common effects. <\/h5>\n\n\n\n
