Introduction

Life isn't perfect. We're not happy all the time, and things don't always go the way we had hoped. There's a rather pernicious underlying assumption that we don't willingly admit to but it's there. Even if we are objectively content emotionally, we might fall prey to the erroneous belief that something is wrong with us. Grief is a very complicated emotion because it's actually not just one emotion. And when we find ourselves in those challenging situations, it would be unfair to burden ourselves with the expectation not to feel completely normal.
