Grief and loss

How grief often unfolds and ways to support yourself without rushing the process.

Grief is not linear

After a loss (death, breakup, health, life project) it is normal to alternate sadness, anger, numbness, guilt, or even relief. There is no “correct” order or expiry date for feeling.

Common myths

  • “I should be over it in X months” — each process is different
  • “If I cry less, I am healed” — grief is not measured only by tears
  • “I must stay strong” — asking for help is part of care

How to support yourself

Keep minimal routines (sleep, food, a brief outing). Talk with safe people. Reduce major demands if you can. If isolation or hopelessness persist a long time, a professional can accompany you.

In Anto

Anto can offer space to organise what you feel between sessions with a therapist or support network; it does not replace specialised grief therapy.
