When suffering from loss, grief is a natural, yet complicated process. Feelings range widely from overwhelming sadness to anger or aggression. Behaviors of those grieving can shift, sometimes withdrawing from friends and family or engaging more frequently in solo activities, such as cleaning or exercising.
