Good article on nonfinite grief. This type of grief deals with loss moments in life or where we think we should be and are not. Or what we wish we had and how it impacted us. It is difficult to deal with but something that needs to be faced. Not all loss is finite or a result of a specific loss that is tangible. Dreams and other issues of what we wish had been are also loss. Please also review AIHCP's Grief Counseling Program

In this article, we learn tricks which aren't treatments, so information is to be taken with a grain of salt, however, the advice given is legit. We are told to prioritize sleep, a good life hygiene, exercise like doing yoga and meditating have been shown times and times again to reduce stress, anxiety and have a positive impact on depression. Avoiding being alone is also one of them. In conclusion, this article helps you find a good life balance but not a permanent solution if you suffer from depression. In fact, these are preventive activities to live a happier, healthier life but definitely not a depression treatment.
