The loss of a loved one can be a soul-crushing experience, and for some, grief does not fade easily. Grief is a natural response to losing someone close, often described as coming in waves, with a person’s emotions changing rapidly.
Long-lasting grief, particularly Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD), can affect health in significant ways. According to Psychiatry.org, an individual with PGD may experience intense longing for the person who has died and/or feelings of being preoccupied by thoughts of the death.
