Embracing Grief When You Have Lost a Loved OneOut of the blue, you receive a message that someone you loved has passed away. Perhaps it is a sibling, a longtime friend, or close co-worker, he/she is close to you but not one of your immediate family. Whatever the nature of your relationship, the timing of their death is so unexpected that you can hardly believe what you are hearing. And yet you know intellectually that it is true. Your emotions do not catch up to the reality quick enough so your response is distorted by a numbness of disbelief. You are left hanging, not knowing what to do or how to respond. Your relationship with the immediate family is close so you feel this pull to be with them but are unsure of how to act, what to say or who to speak with during this time.
