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.
