Grieving the death of a loved one is one of life’s most difficult challenges. Words may be difficult to speak, but the pain and the emotions are shouting inside. According to J. William Worden, there are 4 tasks of grieving.

1. To accept the reality of the loss
2. To process the pain
3. To adjust to your world without your loved one
4. Find a connection with your loved one while you create a newly redefined life.
