How Grief Manifests

Grief is a reaction to any form of loss, and bereavement refers to the process of recovering from the death of a loved one. Adapting to a loss can change dramatically from person to person, depending on their background, beliefs, relationship with the person who passed, and other factors. Some individuals may experience sadness and loneliness with grief, and others may feel angry, guilty, or confused. Signs of grief can be physical, emotional or social. A few common symptoms include:

  • Crying and sighing
  • Frustration or guilt
  • Headaches
  • Loss of appetite
  • Feelings of worry or anger
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Weakness and fatigue
  • Sadness and yearning
  • Self-isolation or feeling detached from others

Behaving in ways that are not normal for you

Grief and bereavement counseling welcomes all your deep feelings and emotional expressions and may focus on the following:

  • Processing the loss of a loved one
  • Working through complicated grief or prolonged mourning
  • Coping with unexpected loss
  • Rebuilding after loss
  • Finding meaning amid change
