For most of us, bereavement will be the most distressing experience we will ever face. Grief is what we feel when somebody we are close to dies. Grief is a very personal experience, everyone experiences it differently; there is no ‘normal’ or ‘right’ way to grieve; we need space to deal with our feelings in our own way.
