Bereavement is the experience of losing someone important to us. It’s characterised by grief, which is the process and the range of emotions we go through when we experience a loss.
The death of someone we love can be a shattering experience. We face the painful and demanding task of coping with loss and separation. At the same time there is the challenge of daily living and finding a new sense of purpose. This takes time — often much longer than we expect.
