Grief: Loss of a Loved OneRead the Grief: Loss of a Loved One article » What is grief?Grief is the normal internal feeling one experiences in reaction to a loss, while bereavement is the state of having experienced that loss.

About 15% of bereaved individuals will suffer from complicated grief, and one-third of people already getting mental-health services have been found to suffer from this extended grief reaction.
