Bereavement
Bereavement is the death or loss of someone close to us. Grief is the process of how bereavement and loss affect us. It often causes disruption and disturbance of everyday life
There are many different types of loss: loss of health, of employment, marital breakdown, divorce and death. How we react to loss will be different for everyone. For most people there is a period of intense, fluctuating reactions that ease over time. Other people can experience intense reactions to their grief that are prolonged.
Grief and loss impact everyone differently and can affect us in ways that are:
- emotional
- physical
- social
- cognitive
- financial
- spiritual
