Grief is a normal and natural response to loss. Though we often expect to grieve the death of a family
member or friend, many other significant losses can also trigger grief. Examples include:

The end of a relationship

A move to a new community

A much-anticipated opportunity or life goal is suddenly closed to us

The death of a pet

Someone we love contracts a potentially life-threatening illness

Grieving such losses is important because it allows us to free-up energy that is bound to the lost person,
object, or experienceso that we might re-invest that energy elsewhere. Until we grieve effectively we
are likely to find reinvesting difficult; a part of us remains tied to the past.
Grieving is not forgetting. Nor is it drowning in tears. Healthy grieving results in an ability to remember
the importance of our lossbut with a newfound sense of peace, rather than searing pain.
D. Application
When can we say the way we grief is healthy for us?
