While the experience of grief can be very isolating, we would like to help you take steps to counter the feelings of loneliness and disconnection. While the articles in our grief library can make a difference in your day-to-day life, please don't hesitate to call us should you need additional support. We will do our best to ease your bereavement and, if requested, provide a referral to a local grief counsellor or therapist.

Sometimes it feels as if your bereavement will never end, and you’d give anything to have the pain go away. You are not the only bereaved who has longed for some measure of relief.

Grief counselors and therapists tell us that the length of time it takes anyone to grieve the loss of someone they held dear to them is dependent on the situation, how attached you were to the deceased, how they died, your age and your gender. So many variables exist, and there’s absolutely no way to predict how long it will take for you to adapt to your loss.
