Loss is the experience of losing someone, whether the relationship was close or complicated. Over a lifetime, loss is inevitable. Grief is the personal response to that loss. While grief is often emotional, it can also be physical, spiritual, cognitive, and social. No two people grieve in the same way. Bereavement refers to the intense period of grief following a death. During this time, people may feel shocked, disoriented, and overwhelmed. Concentration, sleep, appetite, work, and school functioning can all be disrupted.
