Posted on by

Dear Readers,

I wanted to share links to my 2 articles below on Grief and Loss/Bereavement, because so many people are suffering after the death of a loved one. The first article is on the death of a friend, and the second article is on “Complicated Bereavement”.

Perhaps you could share them with a person who need some help.

Sincerely,

This article highlights the causes of complicated bereavements, including guilt, anger, unresolved issues and external events and situations that create complexity. The link is below.
