Some can never be replaced

What is it?

Grief is a natural response to losing someone we deeply care about—whether a family member, partner, friend, or even a pet. It can arise after death, separation, or even major life changes like divorce or illness. While everyone grieves differently, prolonged or complicated grief can significantly affect a person’s emotional, mental, and physical well-being.

Complications of unresolved grief:

Personal impact –

• Difficulty returning to work or daily routines

• Loss of motivation and interest in life

• Withdrawal from previously enjoyed activities

• Guilt, anger, or helplessness

Family and social consequences –

• Breakdown in family communication or support

• Increased conflict or misunderstandings within the family

• Children may struggle with emotional regulation or academic performance

• Loneliness or social isolation due to feeling misunderstood

Psychiatry conditions -

• Grief may is some cases complicate into depression. This may lead to self neglect and in severe cases lead to suicide or psychotic behaviour.
