Grief, in its most basic terms, is a feeling of sadness, an intense, deep and profound sorrow over an event or situation. For the sufferer, it is a reaction to a loss or trauma that cannot be reconciled simply through understanding. Rather, it is a deeply psychological event that can take hours to a lifetime to be resolved. It is the purpose of this paper to present a case study of personal grief, how a specific person deals with that event, and an analysis of that reaction.
