Introduction

The Living with Loss and Grief: Veterans and Families section is basic training in loss and grief. It will help you to better recognize and respond to the grief you may be feeling – without even recognizing it. It will help you recognize and understand the grief others around you may be experiencing and how to support them.

You will learn about:

• How service can lead to many feelings of loss and grief for Veterans and families.
• What grief looks and feels like.
• What may affect the way you feel and respond to grief.
• Ways to care for and attend to your grief and to support others.
