Is there a right way to grieve?

It can be difficult to remember that everyone responds to loss differently when you’re in the midst of navigating grief yourself. There are, however, steps you can take to mitigate any internal or external pressures to “grieve the right way.”

When you’re angry at someone who’s gone

You might be mad at a loved one who has passed, and need to express that anger. Try not to feel guilty. Your anger is a manifestation of how much you loved them. And without it, the grieving process would be incomplete.

Back to work, with grief in tow

Returning to work and easing back into daily life after loss can be incredibly challenging and emotionally draining. There are some important steps you can take to make this process a little easier.

Grief isn’t a feeling. It’s a process. Everyone experiences it differently, and you are the only one who can feel your feelings. But some understanding may help you come to grips with what you are going through.
