Grief in Mexico

Grief is a natural emotional process experienced after the loss of a loved one, a significant relationship, or any situation that involves an important separation. Although it is not an illness, grief can manifest with intense symptoms such as deep sadness, anxiety, sleep disturbances, loss of appetite, and difficulty concentrating. When these reactions are prolonged or seriously interfere with daily life, it is called complicated or pathological grief, which requires professional intervention.
