When a person loses something or someone valuable to them, feelings of grief can be overbearing. Grief can leave a person feeling sad, hopeless, isolated, irritable, and numb by affecting them mentally, emotionally, and physically. It’s important to understand that healing from grief is a process and everyone copes with this emotion differently.

Many people don’t know what to say or do when a person is grieving, but be sure to have patience with the individual (including yourself) throughout the entire process.

Through psychotherapy, a patient may:

• Improve coping skills

• Reduce feelings of blame and guilt

• Explore and process emotions

Consider seeking professional support if feelings of grief do not ease over time.
