grief research

Grief research studies how people experience and process loss, such as the death of a loved one. It examines emotional, psychological, and physical responses over time, exploring factors like coping strategies, cultural influences, and social support. This field aims to better understand normal and complicated grief to improve support and interventions, helping individuals navigate their bereavement in healthy ways. Researchers use various methods, including interviews, surveys, and longitudinal studies, to identify patterns and develop evidence-based approaches that facilitate healing and resilience after loss.
