grief
grief is a natural response to loss. it's the emotional suffering one feels when something or someone the individual loves is taken away. grief can encompass a wide range of feelings from deep sadness to anger. the process of adapting to a significant loss can vary dramatically from one person to another, often depending on a person's background, beliefs, and relationship to what was lost.
grieving processes are influenced by the nature of the loss, one's cultural and religious background, coping skills, mental history, support systems, and physical health.
