Delayed grief…some grievers may wonder why they’re starting to experience their grief more intensely when it’s been several years since their loss. Rather than feeling they are getting “better”, they may find that they are crying more, withdrawing from friends and family, and perhaps feeling even less accepting of what’s happened.How can this be? With more time to process, more time to experience life without a loved one, and more time to re-learn what this new life looks like…why would it feel like it
