Understanding
Bereavement

Bereavement refers to the experience of loss, encompassing the period following death when grief is experienced, and mourning occurs. The word “bereavement” has its origins in the phrase “to rob,” reflecting the profound sense of loss and deprivation often felt after the death of a loved one. It’s common to experience a range of emotions, including outrage, betrayal, shock, and a sense of being deprived when faced with a significant loss.
