What Is Grief?
Grief is a natural response to loss, and it can involve a variety of emotions, such as sadness, anger, guilt, and confusion.
While experiencing grief after a loss is normal, 1-in-10 of bereaved
survivors
suffer
from Prolonged Grief, where you feel unable to adjust to
normal
life.
Some people may find that the grieving process is complicated by distressing
memories,
unresolved issues, or intense emotional reactions related to
the loss.
EMDR therapy can be used to help individuals effectively process their grief and facilitate adaptive coping.
Symptoms of Grief Include:
Trouble concentrating, making decisions, or with memory
Profound sense of isolation, even when surrounded by others
Haunted by sadness, guilt, or thoughts of what might have been
Believing life will never be normal or you can feel happy again
Grief can have a significant impact on your daily life, relationships, career, and overall
well-being.
Luckily, effective treatment can help you manage
and overcome your pain.
