Ask Joy: GRIEF — How to Survive and Thrive
- Replies 23
Note from the Editor:
We’ve been interested in sharing some expert articles about mental health and wellness. However, we needed the right person, with the right experience.
Today, I am very excited to introduce Joy!
I’ll hand you over to her for the first article, which covers something that has, unfortunately, touched many of our lives: grief.
Just as there are many forms of grief, so there are different ways to grieve and different time frames in which to do this.
Grief happens to everyone at some time in their life—it is how we personally deal with this grief and come to terms with the reality and permanency of this new situation.
You may have lost a special piece of jewellery, or having to move from a loved home, or all the way to losing a loved one. We all experience grief differently, and all the feelings associated with grief are part of a process that Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross described as the Five Stages of the Grief Cycle.
