It is normal to experience grief feelings when a loved one has passed away, or when an
individual has experienced a loss, such as the breakup of a relationship, job loss, or
significant health problem. Aspects of grief & loss include:
- Abnormal sleep patterns
- Changes in appetite
- Difficulties with concentration and focus
- Feeling overwhelmed
- Feelings of guilt
- Feelings of sadness
- Increased or inappropriate anger
- Lack of motivation
- Listlessness
It is common to experience some or all of these reactions to loss. Therapy can be very helpful when grief interferes with normal activities.
