Grief is a normal response to loss, not limited to death. It can impact mental health, leading to feelings of loneliness, low mood, and anxiety. Recognizing and accepting emotions, seeking support, and focusing on manageable actions are healthy ways to navigate grief and its effects. Losses experienced during COVID-19 include bereavement, illness, disrupted routines, and missed opportunities. Understanding grief as a personal, intense reaction that transcends age and culture is key to managing its impact.
