Mourning and Bereavement

Mourning and bereavement refer to the processes people go through after losing a loved one. Bereavement is the state of having lost someone, often involving strong feelings of grief, sadness, and longing. Mourning is the outward expression of this grief, which can include rituals, memorials, or personal reflection. Both processes are deeply personal and can vary widely among individuals and cultures. It is common to experience a range of emotions, and there is no set timeline for healing, as everyone copes with loss differently. Support from friends, family, and professionals can be helpful during this difficult time.
