I think about the person who died so much that it's hard for me to do the things I normally do
Understanding Grief and Bereavement
Grief is the natural response to loss, most commonly the death of a loved one. While grief is universal, everyone experiences it differently. There's no "right" way to grieve, and no set timeline for healing. Normal grief involves waves of intense emotion, painful yearning, and gradual adjustment to life without the person you've lost.
However, approximately 10-20% of bereaved individuals experience complicated grief (also called prolonged grief disorder), where intense symptoms persist beyond 6-12 months and significantly impair functioning. Complicated grief involves persistent yearning, difficulty accepting the death, intense emotional pain, and inability to engage with life.
Important: This free grief assessment helps identify whether your grief symptoms may benefit from professional support. Grief counselling doesn't mean something is "wrong" with your grief—it provides compassionate support through one of life's most difficult experiences.
