No one can take away your pain--but there is something you can do to grow from it.

Each time someone passes away, they leave behind an average of five grieving people.

Grief will affect every single one of us at some point in our lives. It's an inevitable and natural fact of life, yet it is one of the hardest things we will ever go through.

Grief can be debilitating. It takes us unawarely, and it can be so raw and painful that we become unable to function, much less move forward and process our feelings.

If you've lost a loved one, you might be struggling with a lack of energy and feelings of guilt, powerlessness, and loneliness. You're not alone, but you probably feel it.

Grief isn't something we can avoid or bargain our way out of. It's something we have to go through, and there's no denying that it hurts like hell. But grief doesn't have to be our enemy.

When we allow ourselves space to process our pain, we can grow kinder and wiser, and we can use our experiences to help others. We will never forget those we've lost, and navigating our grief will be a long journey, but life is not over.

In fact, it's possible to emerge from grief a stronger, better person.

It's possible to sidestep grief's distractions and complications--the things that stop us from processing our pain. Those feelings of lethargy and powerlessness are common, but they're not inevitable: you just need a roadmap to help you navigate them.
