Grief and Loss
Grief is a natural response to losing someone or something important, like a loved one, a relationship, or even a job. While grief is a normal part of life, when the pain becomes overwhelming or lasts too long, it can lead to a disorder that affects your well-being.
COMMON SYMPTOMS
Intense sadness or longing for the person or thing lost
Difficulty accepting the reality of the loss
Trouble finding joy or meaning in life
Feeling numb, detached, or disconnected from others
Physical symptoms like fatigue, changes in appetite, or sleep issues
Feeling hopeless, anxious, or as if life has lost its purpose
EXAMPLES
Complicated Grief: Intense grief that doesn’t seem to lessen over time, often interfering with daily life and lasting for months or even years.
Persistent Complex Bereavement Disorder: A disorder where someone’s grief becomes so severe it disrupts their ability to function and move forward with their life.
Adjustment Disorder with Depressed Mood: Difficulty coping with the loss, leading to feelings of sadness or depression.
MANAGEMENT
While grief is a personal and unique experience, there is help available. Therapy, support groups, and other resources can help guide you through the process of healing and adjusting to life after a loss.
