Grief Bursts

A grief burst is something that occurs when the loss is no longer new, the acute pain of grief has subsided, and the pain is no longer an all-consuming reality from minute to minute. Grief attacks occur out of the blue and feel like a sudden blow to the body. In the moment, it feels overwhelming and as if it may never end. Grief bursts hit with take-your-breath away intensity. It can feel like our feet have been taken out from under us or that a wave has knocked us over.
