On the road of life, we may find that our dreams and aspirations for living have been derailed, slowed, or halted by challenges like traumatic events, troubled relationships, illness, loss, unwanted thoughts, or difficulties with our mood. These challenges are the bumps on our road, but the feelings of isolation, grief, sadness, fear, guilt or shame that often follow can feel like unyielding roadblocks. In times like these, we need a supportive ally—someone who offers safety, warmth, and understanding.

We are learning how to connect the world around us in new and continuously changing ways. During even the small changes we can experience grief related stress or anxiety simply trying to create new routines for ourselves or our families. Grief is a natural response to any form of loss in our lives. Often people only relate grief to the death of a loved one but it is much more common than that. The process of grieving a loss can happen from a move, a change in job, a loss of a relationship or even the loss of a dream once had.
