What Causes Grief?
There are many life events that can cause grief:
- The death of a loved one is most common
- The death of a treasured pet
- Chronic health problems
- An accident that leads to a temporary or permanent disability
- Loss of independence
- The end of a relationship
- Loss of employment
- Natural disasters

- Loss of appetite
- Outbursts of anger
- Difficulty concentrating
- Increased anxiety and panic
- Depression
- Moodiness and irritability
- The need to repeat stories of a loved one who has died
- Withdrawal or isolation from others
