Question

describe Bereavement, and Mourning?

Answer 1

Bereavement is the state after the loss of a dear one during which sadness is experienced by a person and mourning is expressed. It is the state/period of getting adjusted to the loss. The time of bereavement period depends on how much the person was attached to the one who passed away, and time spent in anticipation of the loss. The process of adapting to a loss using culturally structured ways to respond to the loss is called mourning. It is the expression of grief using traditionally prescribed methods. Period of mourning varies for different cultures with different rituals to express it.
