What is Grief and Loss?
Grief and loss are deeply personal and complex emotional responses to significant changes or losses in a person’s life. These feelings arise not only from the death of a loved one but also from other types of losses that alter a person’s sense of normalcy, security, or identity.
Types of Grief and Loss
- Death: Loss of a family member, friend, pet, or significant other.
- Relationship Loss: Breakups, divorce, or estrangement.
- Health Loss: Chronic illness, disability, or loss of physical/mental capabilities.
- Career/Financial Loss: Job termination, financial instability, or bankruptcy.
- Identity Loss: Losing a sense of purpose, status, or role (e.g., retirement or becoming an empty nester).
- Environmental Loss: Relocation, migration, or natural disasters.
- Anticipatory Grief: Grieving a loss before it occurs, such as a terminal diagnosis.
- Ambiguous Loss: Unresolved or unclear losses, like a missing person or a loved one with dementia.
When to seek help
- Persistent inability to function in daily life.
- Intense longing or preoccupation with the loss for an extended period.
- Feelings of hopelessness or thoughts of self-harm.
- Difficulty connecting with others or adjusting to life after the loss.
