Understanding and accompanying grief
How grief works, and what truly helps.
Grief has no order. It comes in waves, sometimes years later. There is no "right", no timetable.
What helps: small rituals, conversations with trusted people, sometimes professional support. On request we recommend grief counsellors and self-help groups, also in Russian.
