Imagine while you are fixing something in the garage and accidentally drop a hammer on your foot. You would immediately feel significant pain and lose your focus on everything else. Your attention would shift to your foot! That is how the sensation of pain is perceived in the body affecting how we react.

Coping with the loss of a loved one, friend, or anyone close to us is one of the stiffest challenges in life. Grief is the emotional and physical reaction we channel to cope with a loss. Nevertheless, it is a normal part of the healing process when we know how to deal appropriately. Otherwise, grief could lead to prolonged periods of anger, confusion, depression, frustration, hopelessness, or withdrawal.
