If your friend cries, don’t try and stop them, or feel that you have to try to ‘cheer them up’. Strong emotions are a normal part of grieving and your friend will appreciate your acceptance and understanding.

Common Myths About Grief Through National Grief Awareness Week, we will break down some of the common myths about grief. Take a closer look at some of these myths.

The idea of the '5 Stages of Grief' is something many people think of when they imagine grief. However, this doesn’t always match with how most people actually feel. Grief is a fluid, deeply personal experience without stages or deadlines.

The image is a dark blue graphic promoting "National Grief Awareness Week." At the top, there is a white outlined box with the text "NATIONAL GRIEF Awareness Week" inside. Below that, in bold white text, it says, "Holidays can bring up memories of those we have lost." Underneath, in smaller white text, it reads, "We want to remind everyone to take time for yourself and offer support to your loved ones during these times." A simple white line drawing of a heart is placed to the left of the smaller text. In the bottom-right corner, the logo "SAMHSA" appears in white.

Holidays and special dates can be a difficult time. If your family, friend, or loved one is grieving a loss, offer help and support to assure them that they’re not alone in their grieving process.
