Short excerpt from a YouTube interview with grief expert David Kessler addressing whether there is a right or wrong way to grieve. Kessler states there is no right way—grief is personal—and advises seeking professional help if one shows addictive or acting-out behaviors or has thoughts of hurting oneself or others.

Is there a right or wrong way of coping with grief?
There is no right way to grieve. There's only your way to grieve. And certainly that's different for everyone. Now, obviously, like anything else, there's behaviors that can occur in grief that if they do, you should seek help. If you feel like addictive behavior is going on, acting out in any way, you're having thoughts of hurting yourself or hurting others, of course, seek professional advice.
