Gone but never forgotten

How can someone handle grief?
While speaking to Briefly News, Specialist Wellness Counsellor Louise Clarence noted that grief is our emotional reaction to loss, be it a person's passing, losing a job, or saying goodbye to a relationship.
Louise also explains:
"A person's body and mind react in different ways towards loss, which reminds us that grief looks different to everyone. There is no pattern, meaning handling it can be complex."
The Cape Town-based counsellor mentions that one way people can handle grief is by choosing what will make them feel empowered again. Secondly, people should avoid isolating themselves as grief intensifies when feeling lonely.
Lastly, she adds:
"Always communicate your needs to loved ones. Share with them that certain questions trigger you to have a breakdown. Communicating this will help them to know how to support you best."
