Grief is one of the oldest universal aspects of human experience, and yet it is also unique to each person and each situation. Grief is our emotional response to the loss of someone or something we love, and thus grief can feel overwhelming or all-encompassing. There is no right or wrong way to grieve; however, understanding grief can help us find healthier coping strategies.

In honor of National Grief Awareness Day, today, we’re looking at the grief process and tips to cope with grief.
