When we think about grief, we often think about the death of a loved one.
But there is another kind of grief that many people carry quietly:
the grief of no longer having the life we once had.

We may grieve a lifestyle.
Friendships that changed.
Activities that once defined our days.
A sense of identity that no longer fits.

Sometimes nothing “dramatic” happened.
Or perhaps everything did.
A move.
A divorce.
