Grief is the reaction to loss, everyone grieves differently, it may be through tears, anger, pain etc.
Grief is often complicated and may last from two to five years. Those who are dealing with grief may feel misunderstood by those closest to them; they may also want to avoid being a burden. Seeking help is particularly important for addressing things triggered by grief like depression, anxiety, addictive behaviors etc. There is never a wrong time to seek help dealing with grief. Find a professional counselor and/or a support group.
“The only way to take sorrow out of death is to take love out of life.” Russell M. Nielson
