When a loss happens grief is the word for the immediate reaction. It is the acute sense of missing. Bereavement refers to the process of recovering.
The process of grieving and adapting to a loss can dramatically change from person to person, depending on background, beliefs, relationship, etc. Every grieving experience is different. A person may be able to continue their day-to-day routine after one loss, yet not be able to get out of bed after another loss.
Whatever your personal experience, grief and bereavement counselling have been proven to help.
