The 3 C’s of Grief

The 3 Cs of Grief are Choose, Connect, and Communicate provide a helpful framework for navigating loss and healing.

Choose: Grief can feel overwhelming, but healing begins with small choices. Choosing to acknowledge your feelings, seek help, or engage in self-care empowers you to take steps forward, even when the pain feels unbearable.

Connect: Grief can be isolating, but connection is vital. Whether through family, friends, support groups, or professional help, staying connected to others who understand your pain can provide comfort, validation, and a sense of belonging.

Communicate: Expressing grief is an essential part of healing. Whether through talking, writing, art, or music, finding ways to communicate your emotions helps process the loss and fosters deeper understanding with those who support you.

By embracing these three Cs, individuals can gradually find strength, support, and healing on their grief journey.
