Why Am I Still Sad?Understanding Grief

Grief is a natural response to all kinds of loss - changing relationships, losing a job, moving to a new city, experiencing decreased physical or mental functioning, confronting death, or even becoming disillusioned about the state of the world. Grief may continue to wash over us in waves for weeks, months, or even years after a significant loss. However, understanding grief and our response to it may help us cope with the waves when they come.
