Traumatic loss

Traumatic loss refers to the sudden or unexpected death of someone close, often accompanied by intense emotional distress. It can be caused by accidents, violence, or sudden health emergencies. This type of loss can trigger feelings like shock, grief, guilt, and confusion, and may lead to difficulty functioning normally. Because it occurs unexpectedly, individuals often struggle to process and accept the loss, which can affect their mental and emotional well-being for an extended period. Support, understanding, and time are essential in helping someone cope with traumatic loss.
