The Components of Grieving

Many words are associated with loss. They differ in meaning but overall aptly describe the pain and confusion most frequently associated with the death of someone close. Some

  • Loss: When something or someone cherished or appreciated disappears.
  • Bereavement: Experiencing the loss of a loved one by death.
  • Grief: The distress and at times deep suffering caused by a loss, an internal experience.
  • Mourning: An outward expression of grief.

The Aftermath of a Loss

A death in the family undoubtedly creates a sense of loss and sadness. But in addition to mourning and bereavement there are other effects created from the loss of a loved one. Often families grown closer, choosing to forget their smaller differences or arguments in the face of loss.

However, death can also put a strain on relationships. When a parent dies a child can feel abandoned by the surviving parent who grieves internally, unable to fully support the child who is also grieving. Marriages can become strained or non-functioning if a couple grieves or mourns in different ways.
