It can be a major or minor, and the amount of grief experienced by each person will vary. Some losses are simply more painful than others.<\/p>\n<p>If you are going through the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wholeperson.com\/x-griefresources\/griefresources.html#IGWC\" target=\"_blank\">grieving process<\/a>, allow it to happen. You need time to recover from the injury. If you were suffering from an illness, you would give yourself some time off. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wholeperson.com\/x-griefresources\/griefresources.html#Anchor-GriefWork-47857\" target=\"_blank\">Death<\/a> isn\u2019t any different. Take your time; find other things in life to focus on, to spend your love and energy on. This is not to say you will ever, ever replace the person you lost. You will learn to accept your new normal. There is no replacing a loved one \u2014 people aren\u2019t things. You need an outlet for your stress energy. Let yourself lean on friends and family; join a support group if you need to. Don\u2019t be afraid to reach out during this difficult time.<\/p>\n<p>You will never get over your loss. You will always love and miss the person who is gone, but you can and must accept their passing and move on. You are forever changed, but you continue on with a new strength and purpose, becoming a stronger person who experiences life on a deeper level.<\/p>\n<p>*<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wholeperson.com\/list-griefresources.html\" target=\"_blank\">Click here<\/a> for Grief Resources from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wholeperson.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Whole Person<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wholeperson.com\/x-griefresources\/griefresources.html#Anchor-GriefWork-35882\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"239\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/wholeperson.com\/blog\/grief-a-natural-stress\/gw\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/wholeperson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/gw.gif\" data-orig-size=\"127,150\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"GriefWork ~ Healing from Loss\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/wholeperson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/gw.gif\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/wholeperson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/gw.gif\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-239\" title=\"Grief Work\" src=\"https:\/\/wholeperson.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/gw.gif\" alt=\"Grief Work\" width=\"127\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The greatest distress most of us ever have to survive is the death of a loved one.
