When Grief Won’t Relent

It generally takes six months to overcome grief in such a manner that enables one to resume a normal routine of life. When the impact is more devastating and totally disrupts your entire existence for longer periods, that is a phenomenon known as “complicated grief.” Untreated, it can result in prolonged sleep disturbance, substance abuse, suicidal thoughts and behaviors, immunologic abnormalities, and an increased risk of heart disease and cancer.
