Grief and bereavement refer to the emotional responses and processes individuals experience following the loss of a loved one. Grief encompasses a wide range of feelings, including sadness, anger, guilt, and confusion, which can manifest in various ways, such as changes in appetite, sleep disturbances, and difficulty concentrating. Bereavement is the period of mourning and adjustment that follows the loss, often marked by a need to find meaning and cope with the absence of the deceased. Support through counseling, support groups, and healthy coping mechanisms can help individuals navigate their grief, allowing them to honor their loved ones while gradually healing and finding a way to move forward with their lives.
