What're the 3 Cs of Grief?

Can't

This represents the feelings of helplessness or powerlessness often felt during grief. It may be difficult to understand or accept the reality of the loss, and there may be a sense of not being able to move forward.

Couldn't

This refers to the feelings of guilt or self-blame that can arise, questioning whether there was something more you could have done to prevent the loss or to help the person who has passed.

Won't

This addresses the resistance or fear of moving on from the loss. It can be difficult to imagine a life without the person or thing you’ve lost, and there may be a reluctance to embrace change or the future.
