Deep dives

Understanding Grief Through Change

Grief is largely framed as a response to change, whether that change is significant loss or even positive transitions like a child leaving for college. It manifests as a natural and necessary process to honor feelings associated with these changes, requiring time and space for reflection. One insightful perspective shared is that grief can be viewed as the price we pay for love, emphasizing that every emotional attachment brings the potential for grief. This recognition encourages individuals to validate their feelings instead of suppressing them, especially during poignant times like the holidays, when grief can feel especially overwhelming.
