Grief: When a Loved One Dies
Jacqueline Klemke · 6 min read
Losing someone you love is one of the most painful experiences there is. Grief is not an illness but a natural response to loss – and it unfolds differently for every person.
Grief has no timetable
Grief does not move in a straight line. There are days when things feel lighter, and days when the pain returns – on anniversaries or holidays, for example. That is normal.
Grief in the family
Family members grieve differently: some talk a great deal, others withdraw. Children often grieve in waves. Mutual understanding of these differences is a relief for everyone.
Accepting support
Coaching can help you find your way back into everyday life after a loss. When grief lasts a very long time or becomes paralysing, psychotherapeutic support is important – and I refer you on transparently where needed.
