ABSTRACT
In the field of death studies, it’s commonly understood that grief is the reaction to bereavement (Corr, Nabe, & Corr, 2008; DeSpelder & Strickland, 2008; Kastenbaum, 2008). Although there are many variations, and no one has exactly the same experience, grief is often associated with physical sensations, strong emotions, changes in thinking, behavioral reactions, altered social relations, and spiritual or existential struggles. For a brief overview of adverse consequences, see Figure 10.1.
