Loss comes in many forms — the passing of a loved one, an animal, the fading of a friendship, the shatter of a dream, a lost opportunity or the closing of a chapter.

Grief follows this loss and does not only come when someone or something has died. Many of us grieve for things that happen on a daily basis that affects us so deeply that our optimum lifestyle and performance are compromised. We walk through life with broken hearts in agony. This is particularly true of caregivers, people who observe pain and suffering on a daily basis, or souls who simply can’t forget an incident or loss that tore their hearts open in shatters.

Whether you have lost someone or something, or grieve for a sorrow in this world, having support and resources to aid as coping mechanisms is vitally important. Finding a tribe, a sensitive and compassionate community is crucial in helping us to stay level headed in order to thrive in our lives.
