Dear CBCM Members,

May being the AAPI mental health awareness month, I want to share some resources on grief this week.

Grief is a universal response to loss. Contrary to many people’s perceptions of grief, working through grief is not meant to be done alone. We need a community of relationships to come alongside us and be our companions as we go through the grief journey. Knowing and experiencing we don’t have to face it alone lessens the dread and gives us the courage to embrace our grief.

五月是亞太裔心理健康意識月，本週我想分享一些關於悲傷的資源。

悲傷是對失去的普遍反應。 與許多人對悲傷的看法相反，走過悲傷之路並不意味著獨自完成。 當我們經歷悲傷的旅程時，我們需要一個關係共同體來陪伴我們，成為我們在悲傷旅程中的同伴。知道和體驗我們不必獨自面對它，可以減輕恐懼，讓我們有勇氣面對悲傷。
