Complicated Grief
Complicated grief generally refers to grief that remains intensely disruptive over time and feels difficult to integrate into daily life. A person may feel stuck in disbelief, unable to imagine a future, emotionally flooded by reminders, or deeply isolated in their loss. This does not mean they are grieving incorrectly. It means grief may need more structured support.
Therapy can help create room for the loss, reduce self-blame, and support coping when grief feels persistent and overwhelming.
