Grief Looks Like:

Feeling great one minute and
falling to pieces the next.
Avoiding things and people that
remind you of your loss.
Moving in and out of acceptance,
denial, bargaining, anger, and depression.
Losing interest in activities.
A desire to be alone.
Feeling like no one else can understand the magnitude of your loss.
Not getting over your loss quickly.
