Maintaining Your Mental Health While Grieving
When someone close to you dies, there are a wide range of emotions and feelings that can pass through your mind and body. While everyone deals with death differently, there are some common ways people express grief. So if someone is dealing with a wide range of new emotions, how are they supposed to know when something isn’t a normal part of the grieving process?
On this episode of Changing Lives, we’re going to go over how to maintain your mental health while grieving, and what to look for as you process one of life’s most difficult events.
