What is Grief?_________

One of the most famous grief quotes is from the cartoon Charlie Brown..."Good Grief!". Grief is something we all experience, even Charlie Brown. I know it may seem unusual to talk about Charlie Brown on a grief web site, but sometimes a little humor and laughter, even something as simple as cartoons, can help us to handle the grieving process.

Grieving can sometimes be a very difficult and troublesome process for people to go through. It affects each and every one of us differently. There can be different life experiences that cause grieving. On this site we will focus on the most common form of grief. That is grief due to death.

Death and Dying is often a challenging topic for people to talk about. The loss of a loved one is sometimes very hard to accept. There are many unknowns to death, which can make the grieving process very difficult. One thing important to understand is that grief is a normal body reaction.
