How long does grief last?

Everyone experiences grief differently. Some people feel the effects for just a few weeks, while others feel it for months or even years. What matters most is that you take the time and space you need to mourn your loss in the way that feels best for you.

How do you accept death?

It's not about learning to accept death, it's about learning to accept life. As long as you're alive, you have the opportunity to make the most of your life. It doesn't matter what has happened in the past, or what may happen in the future. All that matters is this moment, and how you choose to live in it. Death is a natural part of life. It's something that we all have to face sooner or later. But as long as we're alive, we still have the chance to make our lives meaningful and fulfilling. So don't focus on death, focus on living. Embrace life with all your heart, and make every moment count.

What is the difference between mourning and grieving?

Grief is when you feel really sad because something bad happened. When you tell other people how you feel, that's called mourning. There is no one right way to mourn, because everyone deals with loss differently.

How to help someone who is grieving?

Listening compassionately and attentively; Avoiding judgment or giving advice; Allowing the person to talk about their grief in their own way and at their own pace; Providing practical assistance where possible (e.g., helping with funeral arrangements, grocery shopping, etc.); and Simply being there for the person.
