Grief & loss
Support for mourning a death, a relationship, or another major loss.
What it is
Grief follows loss of any kind — death, the end of a relationship, a diagnosis, a job. There's no fixed timeline or correct way to grieve, and it doesn't move in a straight line.
Good to know
Grief that feels stuck — not lessening at all over a long period, or coming with thoughts that feel unsafe — is different from grief that's simply heavy and slow, and is worth naming directly to a professional rather than waiting it out.
What helps
Talking with people who understand — a counsellor, a peer support group, or people who've experienced something similar — tends to help more than trying to process loss alone.
When to seek help
If grief is interfering with basic functioning months in, or comes with thoughts of not wanting to be here, reach out — to a counsellor, or to a crisis line if it feels urgent.
