grief and mourning
Grief and mourning are experienced after the loss of a loved one due to death, divorce or another cause; for example, loss of health, a job or something else that was very important. Symptoms of mourning are despair, intense longing, missing, difficulty in accepting the loss, unwillingness or inability to contemplate reality, emotional numbness, and a feeling of meaninglessness. People can also find it difficult to carry on with day to day life because they view it as a betrayal of the one they have lost. The symptoms frequently diminish over the course of time. If they do not, or if you want to have a few conversations about it with an independent person, good methods are available to help people come to terms with the loss and to remove the obstacles which hinder the mourning process.
