We all go through grief in different parts of our lives. Grief is the emotional reaction you experience when you’re faced with sudden death or loss. You could be grieving for the death of a dear one. Or you could have lost your job, have a broken relationship, or have recently moved to a different city.

Signs and Symptoms

There isn’t any defined manner in which one should grieve, so people do it differently. Some remain in shock for a while, others keep it inside them, while yet others bawl all they can. Despite this, there are a few common ways of displaying one’s grief.

Depression

Crying often

Shock

Withdrawing from friends and family

Guilt

Anxiety

Fear

Taking to substance abuse

Disinterest in favorite activities and interests

Causes of Grief and Loss

Grief and loss are generally due to any one of the following:

Loss of a dear one

Job loss

Death of a pet

Broken relationship

Loss of a friendship

Not attaining a personal dream

Grief Disorder Types

There are two known types of grief disorders: Prolonged Grief Disorder and Complicated Grief Disorder.

Prolonged Grief Disorder:
This type of grief disorder affects certain people frequently. According to research, prolonged grief disorder is genetic. Six months after a traumatic event occurs, this disorder is usually diagnosed.

Complicated Grief Disorder:
When the feelings of grief don’t fade with time, complicated grief disorder is said to have set in. People with this disorder suffer the same kind of emotional pain even months after its occurrence.

Treatment

Treatment for grief and loss may be psychotherapy, medication, and coping strategies.

Psychiatrists treat complicated grief using a kind of psychotherapy known as complicated grief therapy.

Ample proof supports the effective use of medication to treat grief and loss. If patients also suffer from clinical depression, they may be prescribed antidepressants too.

The following strategies, if done with sincerity, can help the grieving to find peace and solace:

  • Don’t deviate from the treatment plan.
  • Manage stress with stress management techniques
  • Eat a nutritious diet, rest, and exercise
  • Go out and meet friends and family
  • Be positive
  • Pick up a skill
  • Join a support community
