Discover a sanctuary of perspectives, tools, and shared experiences written for people living with grief.
Delayed grief…some grievers may wonder why they’re starting to experience their grief more intensely when it’s been several years since their loss. Rather than feeling they are getting “better”, they may find that they are crying more, withdrawing from friends and family, and perhaps feeling even less accepting of what’s happened.
When facing anxiety after the loss of a loved one, grievers may feel that prior to their loss there was something in life they took for granted: security. Security in the world, security in the safety and comfort the deceased provided, and security in the knowledge that things would always be okay.
While there are so many things taken with the loss of a loved one, this loss of security can shake and alter a foundation we didn’t even realize we had.
