    Some people may experience grief related to the changes that come with aging, such as the loss of physical abilities, loss of their independence or the death of peers.

  • Cultural or Identity Loss

    People who experience discrimination, forced migration, or cultural displacement may grieve the loss of their cultural identity and homeland.

    Significant life changes like retirement, moving to a new city, or becoming an empty nester can trigger feelings of grief for the life that was and the changes ahead.
