Grief is textured and not a monolith

Grief is a natural response to loss, and although it shows up differently for everyone, it can take many forms. Here are some of the most common types.

Grief is a universal experience, and yet it can also be one of the most isolating.
We each carry our losses in our own way and at our own pace, often quietly. By acknowledging grief openly and compassionately, we create space for connection, understanding, and the reminder that no one has to walk through it alone.

Throughout history, Death has been personified in art. But Hugo Simberg's painting, The Garden of Death, shows Death as a gardener and caretaker. Simberg said that the garden is "the place where the dead go before they go to heaven". Then, when they wither, the flowers, (each of which stands for a human, individual soul), are finally transplanted to paradise.
It's a much lovelier depiction than the usually scary image of Death, don't you think?
