Grief is a natural response to loss, particularly to the loss of someone or some living thing that has died, to which a bond or affection was formed/What-to-Expect). It is a strong, sometimes overwhelming emotion that can be experienced by anyone, regardless of whether their sadness stems from the loss of a loved one or from a terminal illness, job loss, loss through theft, or the loss of independence through disability. Grief often includes physiological distress, separation anxiety, confusion, yearning, obsessive dwelling, and other symptoms. There are different types of grief, including anticipatory grief, which involves grieving before the actual loss, and abbreviated grief. Grieving is a highly individual experience, and there is no right or wrong way to grieve. How one grieves depends on many factors, including personality and coping style, life experience, faith, and how significant the loss was to them.
