\"GoodTherapyorg-Grief-and-Loss-Blogs\"Grief has many causes and can manifest in many ways. Whether it\u2019s triggered by divorce or separation<\/a>, illness<\/a>, trauma<\/a>, or death<\/a>, grief is a normal part of human experience. However, coping with grief can be extremely challenging; if grief is intractable, the support of a mental health professional may be needed.
