Seasonal grief is when the changing seasons remind us of the significance of our loss.
The seasons are a tangible marker of the passage of time. Anytime there is a tangible marker of the passage of time, such as, a birthday, holiday, or an anniversary we are made aware of time itself. Time reminds us of how long it has been since our loss. The memories and traditions we have can be connected to the seasons. We tend to have traditions and memories connected to the seasons, so revisiting those memories or participating in those traditions after we’ve experienced loss can be painful reminders that things have changed. The seasons themselves can be reminders of the cycle of life. Nature is a great teacher. Nature is constantly changing. With each change in season it brings reminders of our loss. Each season will hold different feelings of grief.
