Grief and loss can be a heavy subject, and sometimes learning strategies and resources for how to cope can be helpful.

A few things I try to remember when working with someone who has suffered a loss:
- Each person grieves in their own way. They may not follow steps or a timeline, and that's perfectly okay.
- There is no time limit.
- Each person finds comfort in their own way.
- Education can go a long way in helping someone else deal with a loss, or in dealing with a loss yourself.
- Loss can come in many shapes and forms.
