The loss of a loved one can be among one of the most overwhelming and painful experiences you are likely to encounter. It comes uninvited and it takes you through a range of emotions which often contradict one another and make no sense.

The physical pain of it can have a negative effect on your health and is likely to affect your thinking, alter your behaviour, and disturb your sleeping, eating and thinking.

This article will provide advice and guidance on coping with grief. It will help you understand the grieving process, its symptoms, and how to take care of yourself whilst grieving.

Our guide to coping with grief and loss is designed to help you understand the grieving process, its symptoms and how to take care of yourself whilst grieving.

"Christmas Without You
Although it's sad to reminisce
On Christmases we knew,
This year i shall celebrate
In memory of you.
I will put aside my sorrow
With every unshed tear
And concentrate on all the love
We shared when you were here.
Our time together taught me
What Christmas time is for,
And that's what I'll remember
Until we meet once more."

When deciding what to wear to a funeral, the most important thing is to respect the wishes of the bereaved family. Black clothing is traditionally the most worn funeral attire, though wearing dark or muted colours is also generally considered appropriate.

tells us not to waste time.
It tells us to tell each other
right now that we love
