Q How do we know we are experiencing grief, if perhaps it is an atypical situation, such as redundancy or a break-up?
Grief is often heralded by a physical and a psychological feeling of discomfort: we feel discombobulated or cannot settle or concentrate. We often ruminate about what has happened; question it; look to see what we or someone else could have done di. erently. It is often a resistance to accept the reality of the new situation.
