Change starts with a single step forwards

Grief and Loss

Grieving can include sadness, anger, loneliness, and other painful emotions; however, it can also provide a way to deal with loss and carry on while preserving the memories of the one you lost. People have different opinions of how to grieve. Some people prefer expressing their grief while others prefer expressing it silently. Some feel anger, while others feel happiness, numbness, or relief.

Trauma

Most people will experience some sort of trauma in their lifetime. Contrary to everyday challenges, traumatic events frequently occur suddenly, are unanticipated, represent a grave threat to life, such as physical harm or death, and leave a person feeling helpless.

Depression

An individual with depression (major depressive disorder) experiences negative feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. The symptoms of depression include sadness and/or a loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities. It can interfere with your ability to function at school, work, and home, leading to many emotional and physical problems.
