Mourning is the process of grieving the loss of a loved one, and is a natural response to death and can be experienced by anyone, regardless of age, gender or culture. Mourning typically involves feelings of sadness, anger and guilt as well as physical symptoms such as fatigue and difficulty concentrating, and is important to recognize that mourning is an individual experience that can last for months or even years. During this time it can be helpful to talk with friends and family, seek professional help if needed, practice self-care activities such as exercise or meditation, and find ways to remember the person who has passed away. Ultimately, mourning helps us heal from our loss so we can move forward in life with hope for the future.
