Introduction Understanding Grief and Loss Definitions Types of Losses Complicated Grief and Prolonged Grief Disorder Complicated Grief: Grief that does not follow a typical pattern and remains unresolved, leading to significant distress and impairment. The Inventory of Complicated Grief can be used six months after a loss to assess if grief is resolving as expected. Prolonged Grief Disorder: Newly added to the DSM-5-TR, applies specifically to grief following the death of a close person. Symptoms overlap with complicated grief but are strictly related to the death of a person. Risk Factors for Complicated Mourning Survivor Characteristics: Age: Younger individuals may struggle more due to egocentric thinking and difficulty understanding the big picture. Physical and Mental Health: Chronic pain, mental health issues, and physical reminders of the loss can complicate grief. Cognitive Understanding: A person’s ability to comprehend the loss and its implications. Personality and Character Traits: Traits like abandonment anxiety, insecure attachment, or codependency can complicate mourning. Socioeconomic Status: Financial stress can exacerbate grief. Spiritual Factors: Beliefs about life after death and the meaning of loss. Nature of the Loss: Trauma: Losses that are traumatic, unexpected, or involve multiple losses can complicate mourning. Circumstances: The context of the loss, such as a sudden or violent death, impacts grief. Resources: The availability of support immediately after the loss can influence the grief process. Relationship with the Lost Person: The depth and quality of the relationship, as well as the role the person played in the survivor’s life.
