Grief is a universal experience that touches every person at some point. The loss of a loved one, whether through death, separation, or other life-altering changes, can leave us feeling broken, confused, and uncertain about how to move forward. The road to healing from grief is not a straight path—there are many twists and turns, highs and lows—but it is possible to find a way through it.

We will explore the HEAL method, a step-by-step approach that can help you process and cope with your grief in a healthy, constructive way. This method is not a cure-all but rather a tool to help you understand and navigate your emotions, providing comfort and perspective as you move through the grieving process.

Each letter of the acronym HEAL represents an essential step in living through grief:

• H: Honor Your Loss

• E: Embrace Your Emotions

• A: Accept Support

• L: Look Forward
