Grief; reaction to the loss of a love object (i.e., important person, object, role, status, or anything considered an important and positive part of one’s life) consisting of a process of emotional detachment from that object, which frees the person to find other interests and enjoyments.
The observable expression of grief after a death, especially of a loved one. Mourning is not synonymous with depression or melancholia.
The outward manifestation of grief by the general populace is referred to as mourning. This can encompass various practices such as funerals and other ceremonial rituals, the donning of specific attire, and the enactment of symbolic gestures.
