Is There a Right Way to Grieve?

Grief is deeply personal, but there is a process. Not a tidy one, not a straight line, but a natural movement between feeling the pain and giving yourself a break from it. Both are necessary. Both help you heal.

In this video, Julia explains how grief actually works: why pain is the agent of change, why blocking it does more harm than good, and how you slowly build a new normal you never asked for.

The Grief Works Programme is built around this process. Session 2: Pain is the Agent of Change helps you understand why leaning into the pain, not away from it, is what allows you to heal. And Session 21: New Normal guides you toward building a life around your loss, not in spite of it, but with it as part of you.
