When we talk about losing a loved one, it is easy to assume that grief is only experienced after their death. However, there can be other events which can result in the same feelings of bereavement and grief such as:
- Miscarriages
- Divorce
- Separation
- Health Concerns
- Loss of a Pet
- Failed Relationship
- Moving Away
- Loss of a Best Friend
There can be a wide range of underlying conditions that can sometimes also result in grief, such as a huge argument with your best friend. Afterward, they may tell you they want nothing to do with you and block your phone calls, unfriend you on social media, and take other steps that can cause you grief.
For each person, grief affects them differently. Some people get angry, mad, and upset. Other people become sad, depressed, and cry a lot. Other people can experience a range of these emotions and others.
The important thing to remember is there is no right or wrong way to experience grief. It will hit us differently based on why we are grieving. For instance, if you are single and your only at-home companion was your faithful pet, losing them can be just as traumatic as losing a child.
