     Understanding Grief and Depression

     "Grief is the story of love after loss," says Dr. Katherine Shear, professor of psychiatry at the Columbia University School of Social Work and director of the Center for Complicated Grief. Grief may coincide with or trigger a major depression, but the conditions are different. "Much of what we say about bereavement may well be applicable to other losses," says Dr. Sidney Zisook, distinguished professor of psychiatry at the University of California--San Diego and research scientist with the VA San Diego Healthcare System.

    • Denial. The first stage in this theory, denial helps us minimize the overwhelming pain of loss. As we process the reality of our loss, we are also trying to survive emotional pain.
    • Anger. It is common to experience anger after the loss of a loved one. We are trying to adjust to a new reality and we are likely experiencing extreme emotional discomfort.
    • Bargaining. When coping with loss, it isn't unusual to feel so desperate that you are willing to do almost anything to alleviate or minimize the pain. Losing a loved one can cause us to consider any way we can avoid the current pain or the pain we are anticipating from loss.
    • Depression. During our experience of processing grief, there comes a time when our imaginations calm down and we slowly start to look at the reality of our present situation.

    Is there a timetable for grief after loss?

    • Grief is not limited to the loss of people, but when it follows the loss of a loved one, it may be compounded by feelings of guilt and confusion, especially if the relationship was a difficult one. Because grief obeys its own trajectory, there is no timetable for feelings of pain after loss; nor is it possible to avoid suffering altogether.

    Is grief a natural response to loss?

    • And the reason that this distinction makes sense is, grief is a natural response to loss — so we'll feel grief forever. A woman who lost her mother as a young person is going to experience that grief on her wedding day because it's a new moment where she's having a response to loss. Grief is like someone turned up the volume dial all of a sudden.
