Let’s jump straight in.

When we think about grief or we hear people talking about grief, we tend to jump to the assumption that they are talking about the death of somebody they know.  I would say that this is by far, the most accepted way of thinking about grief, based on my own experiences.  In reality though, we can grieve a number of things, even those that are intangible.  And this bereavement is a stress to our already delicate systems.

The top 5 most stressful life events haven’t changed that much in the past 10 years or so.  Number 1 is the death of a spouse/child or loved one.  2 is divorce, 3 is moving house, 4 is major illness or injury and 5 is job loss.
