Drawing from the evidence base within the grief and trauma literature, the presentation will define traumatic grief and identify potential presenting symptoms and aims to explore the construct of grief that is severe or prolonged and interferes with an individual’s daily functioning. In addition, it will highlight plausible effects of traumatic grief from an ecological/biopsychosocial perspective.
