Grieving takes place after any sort of loss, but most powerfully after the death of someone we love. Grief isn't just one feeling, but a whole succession of feelings. In this Healthworks Special on Grief and Loss we explore the process of dying, the range of grief among adults and children, and provide commentary by experts in family counseling, funeral planning, and hospice services.
