What is normal grief and when does it become complicated?
Normal grief moves through phases (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance) and gradually eases. When intensity does not diminish after 6–12 months or seriously impairs functioning, it is called "prolonged grief disorder".
How long does grief last?
There is no timeline. For many people, the most intense phase lasts 6–12 months, but waves of pain may return for years — particularly around anniversaries or holidays.
How can a therapist help with grief?
A therapist creates a safe space to express your feelings without judgment, helps process the sadness, and find meaning in life after loss. Therapies like CGT (Complicated Grief Treatment) are specifically designed for this.
Do I need to see a therapist for grief?
It is not mandatory. Many people manage grief with the support of loved ones. Therapy is recommended when grief impairs work, relationships, or physical health over a prolonged period.
Can online therapy help with grief?
Yes. Research shows online grief therapy is effective, especially for people who find it difficult to leave the house or who live in areas without specialists.
