When grief feels overwhelming, the right resources and educational tools can help us understand our emotions. HeartLight Center recommends watching Dr. Lucy Hone’s TED Talk on resilience, where she shares three research-backed strategies for navigating loss:

Accept that suffering is part of the human experience
Focus on what you can control
Ask: "Is this helping or harming me?"
