Gentlemental Health 101Grief

There’s no such thing as “good grief.” I don’t usually whip out the ol’ Latin, but this feels like an appropriately somber occasion. Grief comes from “gravare,” meaning “to make heavy” (as in, what those craft beers and cheesecake bites are doing to my gut). Grief weighs you down, making every effort 10x harder. Sometimes it gets so heavy that you can hardly catch your breath.

But unlike my gut, the burden of grief will get lighter over time. How much time? Couldn’t say — it’s different for everyone, and it’s never predictable. And it directly correlates to the work you put into dealing with your grief. There’s no script, schedule, or straight path out of grief, and I’ll save you a lot of trouble by telling you up front that it’s never gone for good. But life goes on, and so will you. You’ll learn to move forward with grief, rather than trying to move on from it.

Below, you’ll find plenty more self-help and professional-help tools to set yourself up for success. So after you’ve given yourself a baseline understanding with our Gentlemental Health 101, dig in and find out what else works best for you.
