Grief can make you feel like you’ve been dropped onto another planet with no guide, no translator, and no map.

While everyone’s grief will look different, it can help to have some guidance on how grief might show up for you, what is “normal” in grief, how grief impacts the body and mind, and ways that you can cope.

These are some of my favorite resources for that.
