Resource Spotlight
How to Deal With Grief
During the holidays, many people may experience grief, the normal response of sorrow, emotion, and confusion that comes from losing someone or something important to you. It is a natural part of life and a typical reaction to death, divorce, job loss, a move away from friends and family, or loss of good health due to illness. |
