Grief is very personal. The way one views grief and finds a way to navigate through it depends on various factors. But the way to get over grief is the way through it. It is important to learn to be empathetic and calm with ourselves when we walk through grief to find peace. “When it comes to grief, there isn’t a right or wrong day to do it, but the pillars of mindfulness can be an excellent starting point,” wrote Therapist Andrea Evgeniou.(Unsplash)
