Being mindful of how grief applies to more than just the death of loved our ones is important. Losses in employment, due to illness, of relationships, all these can be accompanied by the often overwhelming experience of grief.
An interesting aspect that lies behind the behaviors of many of the adolescents we serve, especially in instances where anger is predominant, grief often needs a process for recognition and integration.
“But there is no one way to grieve. People who are grieving experience many different emotions in any number of combinations. They may include denial, sadness, anger, confusion, despair and even guilt. Physical reactions can include sleeping problems, changes in appetite, a drop in energy level, body aches and pain or the development or worsening of an illness.” See more at Shrink Rap
