Exploring Grief

Grief, often encapsulated in emotional and mental distress, also exerts a profound, yet subtle influence on physical health. This unseen physical toll of grief manifests in various symptoms – insomnia leading to fatigue, changes in appetite affecting weight, and even stress-induced heart issues. It underscores the intricate connection between our emotional state and physical well-being. In the throes of grief, the body endures a state of chronic stress, impacting everything from immune function to behavioral health. Recognizing and caring for these physical symptoms is as vital as addressing the emotional aspects, forming an essential part of the holistic healing journey in grief.
