Understanding grief
Grief is a natural and deeply personal response to loss. This brochure from Palliative Care Australia offers compassionate guidance for individuals, carers, and families navigating grief after the death of a loved one. It explores emotional, physical, and behavioural responses to grief, and provides practical suggestions for self-care, supporting others, and seeking help when needed.
