“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.”
– Helen Keller
Grief has no time limit and requires us to feel the feeling and express our needs to others. Be brave and share your feelings about your loss and the pain you are experiencing. Embrace your emotions and refrain from hiding or denying your feelings. Let those around you know that you need their support, and ask for help when necessary.
