Grief comes in many forms. When we think of grief, we typically think of the passing of a loved one. However, grief can be triggered by lots of events, and it is important to accurately identify the emotional experience you are going through. For example, grief can be caused by the loss of an identity, or but it can also be triggered by the ending of a romantic relationship that a person expected to last forever. Given the course of the year, some people may be grieving a cancelled wedding or graduation ceremony that they’ve spent countless months, or possibly years, planning for.
