Signs of unresolved grief
How unresolved grief can manifest itself
After the loss of a loved one, embracing the grieving process is important for continued emotional and physical well-being. In fact, unresolved grief can lead to debilitating anxiety and depression. People express unresolved grief in a variety of ways, including:
• Acting as though nothing has changed and refusing to talk about the loss.
• Becoming overly preoccupied with the memory of the deceased.
• Turning more to alcohol, tobacco or other drugs.
• Becoming progressively more depressed, isolating themselves from other people.
• Becoming overly concerned about their health in general or an existing health condition.
