Grief is a powerful thing. Grief can come from many places, mainly the loss of a loved one. It can have different effects on the person. It can affect not only their emotions, but their heart, too. There are many levels of grief. Some cause a person to completely shut down. Some are not so strong. Grief can overwhelm you, but it can also, in a small way, help you. When you experience grief and don’t let it consume you, it can help you move forward. if you need to, talk to someone you trust who can help you through the grief. Grief is something that is painful to experience, but you cannot let this pain overwhelm you. Some can actually deal with this pain themselves. Others need help. One way to help lessen the full pain of grief is to remember the loved one as you saw them, at their best. That may help ease some of the pain. Never let go of any happy emotions, feelings, memories that you had with that loved one. Do whatever you can to keep them in your life, in any way you can, especially in your heart. These words are from my experience in dealing with grief. Others may have an equally different valid way of experiencing their own grief. The main thing is to never let the pain of grief get the best of you. Do what you can to handle this pain.
