Being stuck in grief is an uncomfortable place to find yourself. When you have experienced a loss and can’t seem to find a path forward, you pause to consider your situation. Are you in grief?

Getting unstuck from grief involves :

Acknowledging your pain

Practicing self-care,

Finding social support, and

Taking purposeful action to process the loss

How do you find meaning again? This can include therapy for complex grief. Be gentle with yourself, understand that healing takes time, and explore activities like creative expression, exercise, and connecting with your loved one's memory to move forward.
